.local domain message in Ubuntu

When trying to access internet using my mobile wireless modem (Huawei) in Ubuntu I got a message which said someting about using .local domain. After some search on internet I found the solution by executing these 2 lines and then restarting. After that it worked fine.

$ sudo sed -i -e'/AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL/s/1/0/' /etc/default/avahi-daemon
$ sudo service avahi-daemon start
