Hi, following an upgrade to Karmic last night, I have no name resolution to the
interweb.  LAN functions are fine, samba shares good, can ping other machines,
router, gateway, and can ping paradise/TCL name servers and can ping
www.google.com by name so have a degree of name resolution.  I can see which of
my skype contacts are online. However all browsing in firefox returns
"connection has timed out" and thunderbird can't locate paradise pop or google
imap servers.  

I still have the same resolv.conf file from before the upgrade: 
#Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 10.1.1.1
nameserver 203.97.78.43
nameserver 203.97.78.44

The network connection applet near the clock shows "Auto eth0" as active and
lists the same name servers as per resolv.conf, and the static ip address for
that machine. ifconfig also shows eth0 with that same ip address though I'm not
sure where it is getting that from, certainly not via /etc/network/interfaces
and the control module for network connections doesn't actually list any wired
connections.  Changing the network management backend to wicd doesn't seem to
help (and doesn't show a network applet with status etc either). 

I'd be very appreciative of any pointers on how to resolve this?

Cheers,
Roger
