Good news: when I add ubuntu804 to my hosts line 127.0.0.1 synaptic does work.
Bad news: When GUI network tool network-admin is used to add the domain bob the first line of the hosts file is changed to "127.0.0.1 localhost ubuntu804.bob" and synaptic no longer works. The settings probably were changed somewhere along the way because I change networks several times a day and sometimes by simply opening, browsing and closing the network tool Ubuntu connects. I have an ISDN and a satellite connection. Neither is anything to brag about but one works best for some things and vice versa. ISDN is setup around the local bob workgroup. Also if I put in ubuntu804 twice both are changed to ubuntu804.bob. I am fairly new to this bug reporting process. Should I simply alter the original description/tags or should I be adding a comment as I am doing here.
