Which results? You did fping http://ftp.debian.org/debian and host http://ftp.debian.org/ In both cases you got 'not found' because you used the commands inorrectly. You do not have a DND problem. What is confusing about that? > topa@dj:~$ fping ftp.debian.org > ftp.debian.org is alive > wtopa@dj:~$ fping http://ftp.debian.org > http://ftp.debian.org address not found <<but google finds it with this > wtopa@dj:~$ ping http://ftp.debian.org Google (or Iceweasel, or any other application) will resolve the address for ftp.debian.org because it knows it is the the right thing to do.
