Oh my, HTTP_PROXY was the culprit. Thanks. Strange wget doesn't use
the proxy though.
This brings me to another question. In my /etc/hosts i have lines like

    192.168.1.44 sue.microsoft.com sue

but sue is not resolved.
the /etc/host.conf looks like 

    # Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit
    hosts
    bind

and /etc/nsswitch.conf is

    group: compat
    group_compat: nis
    hosts: files dns
    networks: files
    passwd: compat
    passwd_compat: nis
    shells: files

What am I missing here? I want sue to be resolved without DNS...

Thanks
Helge
