Hi David,

sorry for the delay.

The thread does not mention any solution -- what did you do to make it
work?

I see two problem sources:

 * You can connect to the internet using IP addresses, but not DNS
   names. Please do 'ping 141.76.2.1' and see whether you get any
   replies. If you do, then something is wrong with nss-mdns
   (please file a bug against that package then).

 * You cannot even ping IP addresses, then you either did not get a
   DHCP response or the routing is wrong. Please send the output of
   'ifconfig' and 'route' (if that hangs, please use 'route -n').


Thank you!

Pitti
