local/lapnavab35:/tmp/.ICE-unix/9505

No, lapnavab35 is the correct hostname. I configured dhclient to always
use this hostname regardless of what the DHCP server says. (The problem
also occured without this, though.)

Yes, as well as removing the file in /tmp/.ICE-unix/.

My current nameserver is 129.xxx.xxx.xxx, and 129.* is the only active
network and route. gnome-session still tries to ask 192.168.1.3, though,
which was the previously active nameserver from my home network.
