[Bug 389909] Re: Change resolve order so Nautilus can browse local network when ISP uses DNS redirection

[Martin G Miller]

As the original poster of this thread, I thought I would add another 2
cents.  I discovered my ISP (Cablevision in New York), offers the
ability to "opt out" of DNS redirection.  This is not widely
disseminated knowledge and it is almost impossible to find unless you
know it exists.

I changed my status to "opted-out" for DNS rerdirection both on my home
and office networks and I have had no further problems in any new
installs of 9.04, 9.10 or 10.04 beta that I have tried on either
network.

As far as I can tell, this problem still remains and the only viable
fixes are to use one of the following techinques:

1) Change the resolve order in /etc/samba/smb.conf
2) Use a public DNS server like Google as mentioned in #12 above
3) If your ISP allows, opt out of DNS redirection.
