Bug Description
After installing of Ubuntu i can not access sites located in home-network. Internet is working fine.
Problem: ping <HOST>
unknown host <HOST>
BUT i can ping it through IP.
Also when i ask dig or nslookup about <HOST> - they all return right information.
So DNS is working, but my ubuntu refuses to use it. After googling and some dancing i found error.
Error is in nsswitch.conf.
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
in some way it refuses to use DNS.
I change it to
hosts: files dns
and all work fine.
PS Windows work fine without any bugs like this.
affects: | ubuntu → nss-mdns (Ubuntu) |

Same bug with Hardy Heron 8.04.
Workaround still works - changing nsswitch.conf helps.
