    Question [SOLVED] Lan dns

    Hi,

    Having just scanned loads of other posts, I can't find one that addresses this name resolution issue of mine.

    I have a NAS server running Debian with Dnsmasq (local DNS and DHCP service). This is working well, including fetching upstream requests from my ISP's DNS service and caching them locally.

    I have another PC not running Ubuntu which happily resolves DNS and non-DNS names. E.g.
    Code:
    ping hagrid.
ping hagrid
    both work.

    However, this is not the case on my Ubuntu PC. It is only able to resolve DNS names, not non-DNS names.
    Code:
    ping hagrid.
    works but
    Code:
    ping hagrid
    does not.

    I have the standard nsswitch.conf and host.conf.

    Can anyone help me put right my client PC problem?
    TIA,
    Rick
