Can no longer connect to Internet - can use on home network

[Nigel Eke]

Adding the dns server to /etc/network/interfaces seems to have done the
trick...  but this is pure guesswork on my part...

It now reads:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address ##.##.###.###
netmask ###.###.###.###
gateway ##.##.###.###
dns-nameservers ##.##.###.### ##.##.###.#
