Package: base
Severity: important

Strange issue
DNS resolution is working fine for basic commands like ping and dig.
Impossible to surf with iceweasel or lynx (cannot resolv name).
Impossible to use icedove (impossible to find mail server)
It was a bit better under google chrome but still randomly broken

::my resolv.conf
domain home
search home
nameserver 192.168.1.1

::my host.conf
order host,bind
multi on

I have this issue with wifi and wired access.
Everything is working fine under Microsoft Windows
I tried with WICD and classic /networking/interfaces conf
if I edit resolv.conf and use a public IP for the nameserver it works
I found somebody with the same issue in switzerland

Motorola Netopia 7647-47 VDSL Modem
Firmware : 7.8.6r13
This firmware is customized for my provider (Swisscom)

Thanks
