I am trying to set up a Telstra Prepaid wireless usb modum to Ubuntu 9.10. The initial set up went very well.
However /etc/resolv.conf was empty. (As has been noted by some users I found using google) So I statically entered some dns servers into /etc/resolv.conf from the telstra list. Pinging the ip number of the server works fine. Pinging the web address fails. So I entered the Bigpond dns servers for NSW, Queensland and Victoria into network manager. This creates a nice shiny /etc/resolv.conf that looks correct when ever the connection is made into the telstra network. Still, ping works for ip numbers, fails for urls. Yet if I enter a url - ip number pare into /etc/hosts all is good. Remove the entry from /etc/hosts fail again. Anybody with any ideas? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ashley
