Thanks for the advice. I opened a terminal and typed ping 68.142.197.78
and it kept repeating a message but with an icmp_seq count so I guessed I hadn't done the right thing. So then I opened mozilla and typed 68.142.197.78 to which it added http:// at the front and an / at the end and up came yahoo but without the pictures. I tried a search but it didn't seem to be able to find addresses such as http://www.yahoo.com/ and so on. I also tried some variations on the 68.142.197.78 altering some of the numbers and it seemed to be searching but as I do not know the relevant numbers for my favourite websites I am stuck. Can you tell me what to do now? I look forward to hearing from you.
