Thanks,
The solution was to enter the ip addresses for my isp's dns servers. I
do have another question about this setup. Now that I installed my
router when I boot up I get the error:
"Could not look up internet address for dhcppc2.
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly.
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding
dhcppc2 to the file /etc/hosts."
Also, now when I enter a terminal instead of get
myusername at localhost.localdoman I get myusername at dhcppc2. Can someone
tell me how to change this back or why it is happening?
Thanks,
Chris.
