Thanks, I changed the first line of /etc/resolv.conf to
'search www.paradise.net.nz' but still ended up getting the message 'something wicked happened to [source]' Running 'netconf --status' consistently gave me the message that "module pythonmod does not exist" and that samba and apache were not running. The latter two started at boot and, also, were started by 'netconf --update' 'apt-get install pythonmod' resulted in 'this package does not exist' so I upgraded the python files anyway via 'apt-get install python' using ppp. Mucking around with linuxconf made me realise it was a linuxconf file - in other words my previous 'apt-get install linuxconf' was not complete. I think I'll have to 'apt-get remove linuxconf' and then reinstall it, Unless anyone out there has a better idea. 'apt-get upgrade linuxconf' perhaps?

Adam, try remove the "domain line". I use Telstra cable.
