Always ping the IP address when you get "unknown host." The above only tells you DNS isn't working. "ping -c 1 81.223.126.153" goes around DNS. So, what's in your /etc/resolv.conf? > Note that the "default" line from route took a long time to show up, so > is the "unknown host" line from ping.

Also, AOK when I boot back to Debian. Good to know; I'd have suggested frobbing (power cycling) the router next. Not necessary. > Please help. It's urgent. You have two computers, one of which works fine. How can this be "urgent"? -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
