1st time dns lookup always fails
Since the feisty-upgrade, I'm having trouble reaching websites. Whenever I try to reach a server by name for the first time (website, ping, mail). It alsways fails. Firefox says "Connection reset", ping says "Resource temporarily unavailable".
I did a sniffing session with wireshark (udp dns lookups) and got the following result:
http://
My laptop name is "janny-laptop" and I'm trying to open the website "www.anwb.nl" with firefox.
Notice the reverse lookups it does. It's not supposed to do that. And they fail (of course).
I'm thinking that's what causes the problems, but why is it doing those in the first place?
P.s. I don't have the libnss-mdns package installed anymore because I found the "slow dns because of mdns" bugreport.
My nsswitch.conf line looks like this:
hosts: files dns
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this.
