Hi Jacopo!

Don't expect to get help from the developers here. They don't want to fix this bug... instead they're posting hundreds of workarounds.

The best one which worked for me ist:

1. go to newtwork setting
2. select your network connection (Standard is "Auto eth0")
3. click "edit"
4. Switch the Combobox from "Auto DHCP" to "Auto DHCP, only Adresses"
5. Put a few DNS Servers from your provider (you should find a list in the internet or in your router configuration) seperated by comma into the "DNS-Servers" box. As the last entry in this box put the ip of your router.

This should work now. For this network. If you switch the network you will have to edit this settings again. Annoying right?

But as i said... don't expect anyone to fix this... for them its okay to always configure things... if they found a way to workaround.. the bug is some kind of fixed...

And YES i am frustrated with this unnessesary annoying BUG!!!
