this is for the gurus . i connected to a different ISP and everything works again. Sth for the gurus to explain and eventally correct.
Why apt-get, firefox n epiphany couldnt resolve names if the system could (and konqueror too) and with the new ISP they can? Obviouly apt-get, firefox n epiphany use a resolving method thats different from nslookup and konqueror. And the former did not work at the previous isp. Both ISP where home dhcp providers, but in different countries. The ISP were firefox n epiphany resolve names is the one through which i installed the system. The system was not changed in the meantime. ?????????????????????...............
