@depu - CONFIRMED fix in bug #7239 worked Workaround: comment out line "domain-needed" in /etc/dnsmasq.conf At least i can put a comment on bug #7239. I don't want to criticise Maemo/Nokia/etc for this because they're doing a great job. I still believe the N900 rocks over any similar device ! @9000 - nslookup localhost returns 127.0.0.1. We probably need to take a look at the dnsmasq logs G.
The following two options make you a better netizen, since they # tell dnsmasq to filter out queries which the public DNS cannot # answer, and which load the servers (especially the root servers) # uneccessarily. If you have a dial-on-demand link they also stop # these requests from bringing up the link uneccessarily. # Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part) domain-needed # Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces. bogus-priv
