Hello all,<br> name lookups suddenly no longer work for me on F11. I have not used this machine since 12th July, <br>but some updates (e.g. rpcbind) have occurred. Now I have big problems; e.g. evolution,<br>thunderbird and ssh do not work. I can force ssh to work by typing the IP by hand. <br>
Firefox could not connect to host. But I discovered that if I set network.dns.disableIPv6<br>then firefox works.<br><br>So I blame IPv6, and examine my settings. There is a toggle box in system-config-network,<br>for IPv6, but whichever way I set it I get:<br>
