Hi Rick,
No - I'm not sure what I should put there... do I need one? after I
rebooted I lost all my changes in here anyway... maybe I should switch
off automatic DNS?
I think so, it should be provided by your ISP ? I would think.
do you mean the *checkbox* for "Get DNS servers from DHCP" ?
Mine is checked to do so ... and I would think you should use their
domain for DNS lookups ...
Well, I just unchecked that, put the DNS servers in the settings
manually and hey presto! http now works! COOL
Obviously what was happening here is that FTP and ping were forwarding
their DNS lookups to the gateway in such a way that they were
understood, but HTTP wasn't. Hardcoding the DNS servers in has sorted
this... until my ISP decide to change their server IPs :-) Raises an
interesting question about how HTTP formualtes DNS requests - one which
I'm most likely to forget after tonight :-)
Many thanks for all your suggestions.
Cheers,
David.
