Hello all
I don't if this is a Linux's problem, a Jose's problem, (ME) or whatever.
I think that is a problem.

When i try "ping www.embratell.com" or "ping www.embratell.com", I got
he message:
ping: unknown host ... .
Just, because the two hosts doesn't exists.
The problem is: when I ping www.embratell.com, the answer is immediate
but when I ping www.embratel.com, the answer comes to me after about 2
minutes.

See this SH and its results:
#!/bin/sh
(
time ping www.embratel.com
time ping www.embratell.com
) 1>temp.1 2>temp.2

ping: unknown host www.embratel.com
Command had non-zero exit status 1
0.02user 0.02system 2:30.12elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot.
