===================
OK Rita, humor an old man ;o)
Do not open a terminal (for command line), open a text editor.
Any of the K editor's is fine, just be certain to do this as root.
Now tell the editor to open the file /etc/resolv.conf. It may be
almost empty (or indeed, empty). Now add the three lines I
suggested in my last e-mail:
search nocharge.com
nameserver <dns#>
nameserver <dns#>
Now save those changes and try to connect again.
This is a simple matter of editing text, not using the
dreaded "command line" 8^)
HTH,
Mike
