hi no, on the system is no separate dns server. i think i have found the reason. in the fai mailing list is an problem described like mine. however it is to find in "problem with 2.6.6." maybe it's the same problem.
whatever... i have switched to ip adresses in the sources.list, so i don't have the problem with resolving the hostnames. but i still have no idea, why the problem happens at this point. greetz daniel (yes, i know that my english is not the best :-) -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 1.
