Re: New User-Network Problem Still

Looking in /etc/nsswitch.conf
I have a line
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

I presume this is the order used to find hosts... and does it look
correct?


Change it to:

hosts: files dns


Also get rid of avahi-daemon if you have it. That mdns stuff was put there
by zeroconf, avahi-daemon, or network-manager.
