Could not resolve hostname, ping works

I have installed RasPi Raspbian, and now I can't do ssh or git clone, only local host names are being resolved it seems. And yet ping works: ``` pi ~ $ ssh test.com ssh: Could not resolve hostname test.com: Name or service not known pi ~ $ git clone gitosis@test.com:test.git Cloning into 'test'... ssh: Could not resolve hostname test.com: Name or service not known fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly pi ~ $ ping test.com PING test.com (174.36.85.72) 56(84) bytes of data. ``` I sort of worked around it for github by using `http://github.com` instead of `git://github.com`, but this is not normal and I would like to pinpoint the problem. Googling for similar issues but the solutions offered was either typo correction, or adding domains to hosts file.
