One problem, The system does not resolve domain names.
nslookup says that it can not reach any servers.
I am using OpenDNS servers and can ping them.

Suggestions where to look next please.

<pre wrap="">thanks, will bookmark

I had given the wrong DNS addresses at install and corrected the ones in /etc/interfaces, forgot about /etc/resolv.conf - spent too much time in WinBlows.

All fixed - thanks

bill
