Comment 2 for bug 269340

ok so here it is.

I figured out the problem. I was able to ping any IP (be it my local network
or google's ip) but not able to ping any site by name (not even my local
network or google.com). In the connection information dialog (In the network
manager GUI) I could see the Primary, Secondary DNS and all other stuff set
up correctly, still could not ping any website with the name.

I changed the resolve.conf file and added my nameserver manually and it's
working now.

I am not a network expert, so don't have much Idea on what is wrong.

My OS version is ubuntu 8.10

Rajeev
