Reply to Virtual1 simply because he was closest....
It looks like the DNSCrypt beta installation has caused me an issue with network access over here in 'far-far-away' land.
The method for me over here is PPPoE using the WiFi network as a pipeline to a satellite connection.....and when I first arrived and renewed my subscription, I was unable to access anything over PPPoE.
I've since fallen back to my old internal drive in an external enclosure running Snow Leopard in order to gain network connectivity.
Unfortunately, the DNSCrypt beta doesn't have a very good uninstall option and it looks like I will have to wait until I return to the States before I can get my Lion installation refreshed (since I don't have great access to any significant broadband throughput over here....).
My feeling is that the DNSCrypt software makes some changes under the hood in the OS that doesn't play nice with PPPoE.
