I was experiencing networking issues with distributed.net updating on my ubuntu 10.10 server.
Net::failed to resolve name "euro.v29.distributed.net"
ENOENT: no entry for requested name
Net::failed to resolve name "us.v29.distributed.net"
ENOENT: no entry for requested name
Apparently the client uses nslookup to find a hostname, my /etc/resolv.conf has 2 name servers both specified by IP address, OpenDNS servers. Every other service can resolve hosts correctly. My solution was to use the already existing Apache installation and set it up as a proxy server using mod_proxy. Point the dnetc client at it and it works just fine.
