Good evening
Since my installation of Arch Linux in September I have a strange problem with one of my computer:
I've installed four systems:
- Desktop PC
- File Server
- Two Laptops
Every installation is working fine except the Desktop PC installation.
I installed Arch Linux the same way for each system.
The problem:
I can't use various programs on my Desktop System:
wget
xchat
git
First I thought it's a DNS problem:
wget google.ch
--2009-10-03 23:54:02-- http://google.ch/
Auflösen des Hostnamen »google.ch«.... fehlgeschlagen: Temporärer Fehler bei der Namensauflösung.
wget: kann die Host-Adresse »»google.ch«« nicht auflösen
But when I say:
wget google.ch -4
--2009-10-03 23:54:51-- http://google.ch/
Auflösen des Hostnamen »google.ch«.... 209.85.229.104, 74.125.77.104, 216.239.59.104

It works fine.
I build a own kernel without IPv6 support but the problem is still there.
I don't know what I can do to fix this, on the other systems it's working.

I hate this problem!
I had the same problem on a slackware based system. I asked in forums, searched google and I even asked the network managers of my college but no one knew.
I will tell you what I found out so you can continue from here:
1) If I start nscd, everything works.
2) Many programs (like firefox) don't have the problem.
That's all I could find out. I reinstalled when gave up.
Good luck!

It's a change in the glibc resolver libraries. Described here:

Edit:
Ok, I have solved it. I have a very, very bad router with a veryy very poor DNS-Function.
With a own dns server it works very well.

Thanks a lot for the link, wget is not working! (add 'options single-request' to /etc/resolv.conf)
But git is still not working:
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/src/ati_oss_stuff/mesa-git/mesa/.git/
fatal: Unable to look up git.freedesktop.org (port 9418) (Temporary failure in name resolution)

Do you mean that wget *does* work? If so, good. If not, try:
wget -4
As far as git, I am no expert but believe it uses ssh for connections. I suggest running:
ssh -v git.freedesktop.org
and see if DNS lookups succeed. Note, this doesn't have to actually be to somewhere you can make a connection, you're just interested in DNS.
