Josh, the first problem I have with that solution is that it is 2 years and 4 ubuntu releases ago.  But a good explanation of the issues is buried in <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html">https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html</a><br>
<br>The section I refer to says:<br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"><h4 class="title">Name Service Switch Configuration</h4>
<p>
			The order in which your system selects a method of resolving hostnames to IP addresses is
			controlled by the Name Service Switch (NSS) configuration file <code class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</code>.
			As mentioned in the previous section, typically static hostnames defined in the systems 
			<code class="filename">/etc/hosts</code> file have precedence over names resolved from DNS. The following 
			is an example of the line responsible for this order of hostname lookups in the file 
			<code class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</code>.
			</p><pre class="programlisting">hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4<br></pre><div class="itemizedlist">
                    <ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
                        <p>
			<span class="bold"><strong>files</strong></span> first tries to resolve static hostnames located in 
			<code class="filename">/etc/hosts</code>.
			</p>
                      </li><li class="listitem">
                        <p>
			<span class="bold"><strong>mdns4_minimal</strong></span> attempts to resolve the name using Multicast DNS.
			</p>
                      </li><li class="listitem">
                        <p>
			<span class="bold"><strong>[NOTFOUND=return]</strong></span> means that any response of 
			<span class="italic">notfound</span> by the preceeding 
			<span class="italic">mdns4_minimal</span> process should be treated as 
			authoritative and that the system should not try to continue hunting for an answer.
			</p>
                      </li><li class="listitem">
                        <p>
			<span class="bold"><strong>dns</strong></span> represents a legacy unicast DNS query.
			</p>
                      </li><li class="listitem">
                        <p>
			<span class="bold"><strong>mdns4</strong></span> represents a Multicast DNS query.
			</p>
                      </li></ul>
                  </div><p>
			To modify the order of the above mentioned name resolution methods, you can
			simply change the <span class="italic">hosts:</span> string to the value 
			of your choosing. For example, if you prefer to use legacy Unicast DNS versus 
			Multicast DNS, you can change the string in <code class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</code> 
			as shown below.
			</p><pre class="programlisting">hosts:          files dns [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4_minimal mdns4<br></pre></blockquote>Personally, though, I just turn on dnsmasq in my router so that all machines on the LAN are known by the router and it caches them so a dns resolution workd both for LAN and WAN name resolution.<br>

I wanted to post the solution in case anyone else runs into this. I was starting to think it was because I was running 64 bit Ubuntu and maybe there was a driver problem with my NIC. Instead I found the answer here:<div><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272161" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272161</a></div>
