 RE: Message 2

Try emptying out /etc/resolv.conf then add these 2 lines:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Save the new file then restart your browser.

  New line characters in the substitution string, perhaps? Dot doesn't
  match those unless you modify the line:
 
  $solar_info =~ s/\/solar.*/,/s;
 
 Kevin, may have something there - there is an inexplicable white space
 when the tags are doubled up.

 I.e.

 solar1,2,3,4,5/solar solar6,7,8,9,0/solar

 when it is doubled up I want to end up with just

 1,2,3,4,5,

 so I can split it out into an array. I'll give the abaove a bash (no pun
 intended) when I get home tonight...

 Cheers,
 Lee

 yes, the DNS addresses were there and the same as on the router.

 Sorry, may I just recap on this?

 Web access has failed (i.e. your web browser cannot find anything), but
 the Internet connection is still there.

 So do email and ping work?  Try something that is likely always to be
 there, e.g. ping bbc.co.uk, and check that it resolves an IP address
 (e.g. 212.58.244.67)

 If it doesn't resolve an IP address, there's something squiffy in the
 way your DNS is running.

 Andrew.

 Hi guys,

 I always work on the theory that most problems are caused by the lowest
 common denominator  Me! However, this time I am not so sure.

 There is probably a simple answer to my query but so far it has eluded
 me. I have added a line to /etc/fstab which originally mounted a couple
 of shares on my Netgear Duo NAS at bootup. It worked fine for a couple
 of days and has now stopped working. However, if I run sudo mount -a in
 terminal the shares mount as expected.

 It may help solve this if I outline the background to this.

 I am running 10.04 32bit. I have always been
