You keep saying this, but nobody else is having this issue.
The closest approximation to your experience that anyone has been able to
come up with is:
Local host names don't work because the browser is using DNS over HTTP.
This configuration can be changed.
How Greg? or better yet, where? I'll reinstall it and change it if I
knew how to change it. I do not enjoy being the odd man out.
It's also possible that you've got some bizarre firewall configuration.
Or that your local web service isn't listening on all interfaces.
Or there's just a misconfiguration of *some* part of the name resolution
system.
Simply repeating your claim over and over, after other people have
offered suggestions on how to fix it, is not helpful. It almost seems
that you would prefer to *have* a problem that you can gripe about
constantly, rather than to *fix* said problem.
