Hello Magic Banana, and aloniv.
Can't imagine why I did not think of ping, must have been the phases of the
moon.Tried it this morning, the following being the result...
geeko@hominid:~$ ping 140.186.70.148
connect: Network is unreachable
geeko@hominid:~$ ping gnu.org
ping: unknown host gnu.org
geeko@hominid:~$
I had expected this , because as I said in my post the wifi connection is a
solid ioo%. The fault is in one of the two files, wifi or browser. How to
sort out their rc or daemon files is too much for me. Hence the post. I hope
this clears some of the confusion ahead.
Thank you for your efforts
Phyckel
