I received a copy of this email (with a different message-ID) personally, and I replied to it personally. Here's my reply, because I think it may be useful to others.

Whoa. Now this works for me. Are you sure your DNS/DHCP servers are configured properly? > I'm guessing this is because the > /tmp/resolv.conf.wlan0 has 'domain mydomain' as the first line and not > 'search mydomain'. Shouldn't matter. > When i gain root access i can add 'search mydomain' to /etc/resolv.conf > and it works, but i don't want to have to gain root from inside a > program (not even sure its possible?). Is there anyway to get the tablet > to resolve the name? Yes, hack the scripts in /etc/udhcpc/. I think the only file that is actually used is udhcpc.script, but that's my personal guess. Add something like echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf echo search $domain >> /etc/resolv.conf to the 'bound|renew)' part in the case statement. Uh, I'm not responsible if fiddling with that file breaks your N770. ;) > Also could anyone tell me if this bug exists on the N800 as well? I don't have one yet.
