Ubuntu Installation Problem

[forbidden]

Hi guyzzz,

I have just recently installed Ubuntu into my laptop. The problem is, it looks like I have installed it properly. All the programs works fine, but there is only one problem, I cannot browse. The browser (Firefox) always says the address cannot be recognized.

A couple of my friends that have just also installed Ubuntu did not have this kind of trouble. THey can browse instantly.

Anyone can help me with this problem? =)


THx in advance,

you probably just need to add your dns server to /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

If you are using DHCP to acquire an IP address then the DNS server should be set by your DHCP server (most likely your router). If you use a static IP then you will need to follow soulestream's suggestion and manually update /etc/resolv.conf. To try and re-establish your connection using DHCP simply type dhclient eth0, assuming your NIC is eth0.
