           Summary: DNS lookups fail when using local DNS
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: eddieleprince at sky.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.4.1. [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839] (SUSE
Linux) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I've setup a local DNS server and from the console I can successfully ping
addresses and do nslookups.  I can run windows xp using virtualbox and access
any website and have full networking capabilities.  However, on the host (my
main machine) all kde network apps fail with an unknown host error message.  If
on the other hand I enter an ip address into the browser (after using the
commandline to do an nslookup) I can make a successful connection to the site.
I don't know the mechanism that KDE uses for its DNS queries but it seems to
have problems with a local DNS.  I haven't got GNOME Desktop setup but it would
be interesting to see if I have the same problem with GNOME.
