Hi Javanmaar

/etc/hosts/
192.168.1.4 pondlife # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 pondlife localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.1.1 pondlife

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

But if dns lookup wasn't working I wouldn't be able to reach any websites either, for example, or ping the bbc - which I can. It does make me wonder if it's a ipv6/ipv4 issue. I have ipv6 off because my router doesn't support it. Leaving it on encourages some apps to fail because if it's there they expect it to work.
