Title:
  mdns4_minimal switch off home-network

Status in “nss-mdns” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “nss-mdns” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  After installing of Ubuntu i can not access sites located in home-
  network. Internet is working fine.

  Problem: ping <HOST>
  unknown host <HOST>

  BUT i can ping it through IP.

  Also when i ask dig or nslookup about <HOST> - they all return right information.
  So DNS is working, but my ubuntu refuses to use it. After googling and some dancing i found error.

  Error is in nsswitch.conf.
  hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
  in some way it refuses to use DNS.

  I change it to
  hosts: files dns 
  and all work fine.

  PS Windows work fine without any bugs like this.
