Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: can't get certain websites

That did it. I changed the name server and I can now get them!

So what does that tell me about my problem? The name server that it was
using was 192.168.1.254 which was set by the router or dsl modem. If I
re-install will I have to do this every time? Is there a better way to fix
the problem at the modem or router level that I can avoid this?
