[PROBLEM] MySQL Connection On Boot

[Swiss]

Firstly - apologies on the Log, edited and dealt with.

None of my Debian servers, nor the ESX that hosts them sleep.
It's not a DNS issue as I get the same error if i change the xbmc config to the MySQL Server IP Address instead.

Done some more digging and it's defiantly underlying network that's the cause, although still highly likely that I'm to blame

Additional Setup Info
Debian server CDNSVR01 handles, among other things, DHCP & DNS via dnsmasq.

If I tail syslog on the CDNSVR01 the entries for the PI requesting it's DHCP lease occur after XBMC has already loaded. Add the delay back in and DCHP completes before XBMC loads.

So my next logical question is...
If XBMC has a dependency for bootlocal, bootlocal depends on $all and $all includes $network $named & $remote_fs why is XBMC loading before the network has finished starting up ?

Sorry if the answers really obvious, but I've only recently started playing Linux based OS so I'm still finding my feet.

Cheers,
Swiss.
