It's a problem with DLINK Routers And that's a work around for it. Those changes will stop when you reboot or renew your IP to make the seting permanent type: sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
That makes the file unwriteable even to the system or root To write to the file you must undo that command by typing: sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf Cheers Cam -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Whiting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 10 May 2007 4:03 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: RE: broadband with ubuntu it freakin worked!! cheers :) what does this imply? > Hi Matthew, > Try this: sudo echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.2' > /etc/resolv.conf > > And maybe read this thread - its not quite the same but might work... > http://www.mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6631 > > > Cheers Cam > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew Whiting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 10 May 2007 1:36 p.m. > To: Campbell McKenzie > Subject: Re: broadband with ubuntu > > no, I can't browse the web either. so, can ftp and ping (for example > google.co.nz) but thunderbird, firefox, apt-get (using either synaptic or > console) all hang when trying to connect.. > > thanks > > >> HI Matthew, >> >> Let me get this right, >> >> you CAN FTP to places. >> >> You CANT apt-get anything >> >> >> >> Can you browse the web? >> >> >> >> If you can browse the web and ftp but CANT apt-get I think I know what >> the >> problem is.. >> >> >> >> Campbell McKenzie >> ICT Broker >> NZGlobal Consulting >> PO Box 19770 >> Woolston >> Christchurch 8241 >> T: 03 977 9619 >> F: 03 977 9617 >> M: 021 2255 025 >> 0800 NZGlobal >> W: www.nzglobal.com >> >> >> >> > > >
