This solution worked for me as well. I was experiencing slow pings, email connections, etc. after installing Feisty. Editing /etc/nsswitch.conf with, hosts: files dns
seems to have resolved all these issues. I did not notice any slow down with Edgy. I checked /etc/nsswitch.conf in my Edgy, strangely it looks same as Feisty with, hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 Any explanation on why this worked fine in Edgy and not in Feisty? Thanks for the help, Jaya -- mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
