Try defining the local "domain" in your /etc/resolv.conf file, i.e.: domain "domain.de" <--I included the quotes here to clarify things. search domain.de <--Probably not needed if the above is defined # ISP nameserver nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx If these are real names instead of just examples, I would suggest using something else other than "domain.de"...to avoid any possiblility of confusion for Linux...i.e. "test.lan". The word "domain" is a command line word in /etc/resolv.conf. & is probably reserved for that use. The rest of your files look OK to me. I get the same responses as you to all the "host xxxx" commands, so I don't think these responses are indicative of anything significant to your problem. I get immediate responses to requests to connection to my machine, and the above "domain" definition is the only difference I can find. Cheers, -Don Spoon-
