I'm using netmanager over wireless on eeebuntu at home.
the 'host' command seems to do host name lookups, but
other commands, like ping and ssh do not.

why might this occur?

flea:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain localnet
search localnet
nameserver 192.168.1.1
flea:~> host coot
coot has address 192.168.1.1
flea:~> ping coot
ping: unknown host coot
