Fraser....you need to find out what the primary and secondary
DNS server IP addresses are for your ISP and enter the name of
your ISP and the two IP addresses in your /etc/resolv.conf
file, the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf are listed below,
however as I said, yours needs to use your ISP's name and its
nameservers IP addresses:
domain pe.net
nameserver 216.100.16.2
nameserver 216.100.16.3
