Hi,

  I used to lurk/participate a long time ago. I'm having an ubuntu related
problem which I haven't been able to figure out or find and answer for. I
have an ubuntu 11.04 64bit machine which I use to host a windows 7 64bit vm.
This LAN here is primarily a windows environment. The problem is that web
access is excessively slow from the ubuntu host but nice & fast on the
windows vm. Actually, I also cannot access any local network machines by DNS
name which tells me there is a DNS problem. Again, this is only on the
Ubuntu side; the windows vm works fine. I tried using the google nameservers
for ubuntu but that doesn't make a difference that I can tell. I also don't
see the problem by comparing the network config for the windows vm and
ubuntu. Oh, and I did make sure ipv6 is disabled because we aren't using it
here.

  I would really appreciate any help with this. Let me know what information
I should post if anyone cares to help figure this out.

Thanks,
Josh
