Hello, the last few days I have had the following network problem with Debian Unstable:
Trying to ssh to a machine using its host name gives the error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ ssh adonis.uio.no ssh: adonis.uio.no: Name or service not known But I can use 'nslookup' or 'host' to get the machines IP address without difficulty: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ nslookup adonis.uio.no Server: 129.240.2.3 Address: 129.240.2.3#53 Name: adonis.uio.no Address: 129.240.223.117 And using ssh to the IP address above works: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$ ssh 129.240.223.117 Last login: Wed Jan 10 09:35:33 2007 from math-dhcp007.uio.no [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Why is 'ssh' not able to obtain the IP address from the OS, when 'nslookup' and 'host' works? Any ideas? Best regards, Torquil M. Sørensen
