[Bug-wget] wget url retrieval

[Chris Stinemetz]

Thank you in advance.

I can only get wget to work when I specify the domains actual ip
address. When I use the doman name it doesn't work.

Does anyone know of a solution?

My two examples:

wget works:

prompt$ wget -L http://67.195.160.76
--2011-10-14 21:22:57--  http://67.195.160.76/

wget doesn't work:

prompt$ wget -L http://yahoo.com
--2011-10-14 21:24:20--  http://yahoo.com/
Resolving yahoo.com... failed: node name or service name not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `yahoo.com'


Some system information:
