I've got an old laptop that I've put Ubuntu 12.04 LXF Remix onto (then upgraded to 12.10).
Problem is I have network access via wired and wireless, but no internet.
ping -c 3 followed by the IP for google gives me the expected results. However, if I follow it with
www.google.com or
www.google.co.uk, I get
ping: unknown host
www.google.co.uk
Any ideas?
