hello in my opinion using the ip is a quick hack, for example it wouldn"t work with http virtualhost, that's why i moved from using ip to hostname
the good fix is IMO to install the mdns resolver to get a full zeroconf stack http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/ this is packaged as libnss-mdns - NSS module for Multicast DNS name resolution maybe the s-d-a package should suggest, recommend or depends on libnss- mdns -- VNC remote access tries to connect using hostname which fails if it's unresolvable https://launchpad.net/bugs/60664 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
