Hello,

I have a very similar problem, with the same hardware, although I am on a
wireless network. Pinging my homebox by IP address and domain name works,
but for some reason, SSH only works when I use the IP address, not the
domain name. However, my web browser is fine. My resolv.conf also contains
the single line "nameserver 127.0.0.1"

Here is the output of nslookup www.google.com:
# nslookup www.google.com
Server:        127.0.0.1
Address:    127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.google.com    canonical name = www.l.google.com.
Name:    www.l.google.com
Address: 64.233.169.147
Name:    www.l.google.com
Address: 64.233.169.105
Name:    www.l.google.com
Address: 64.233.169.99
Name:    www.l.google.com
Address: 64.233.169.106
Name:    www.l.google.com
Address: 64.233.169.103
Name:    www.l.google.com
Address: 64.233.169.104

nslookup on my home's domain name also works fine.

This is the error message I get when I try to SSH:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname <home's domain name>: Name or service not
known

Some additional info: This problem only occurs on the specific network I am
on. It hasn't come up on any other network.
