Comment 8 for bug 484856

Quoting WeatherGod <email address hidden>:The computer which previously had
internet access on 9.04 ubuntu will not now connect to wwww on 9.10.The
connection to my router is shown as active.I tried to use update manager but
got the error message which I forwarded to you.

Idid the ping test in a terminal on a second computer but unable to copy and
paste result however I will try again.

I will try the erthernet connection from the problem computer and see if I can
gain access that way but I have 3 other computers on that network and they are
working correctly.
