Ubuntu 8.04

During a recent update, several programs are unable to contact Internet servers using DNS names.

Using ping to the internal side of the ADSL router and to the internet servers are OK.

To be able to get new updates from apt-get, I have change in the /etc/apt/sources.list the server name with the IP of the server.
My understanding is that if I get updates, I will get some fixes ;-)

example /etc/apt/sources.list:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

# OLD LINE: deb ftp:// ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main
