Hi,
Im completely new to linux. I've been booting using the LiveCD and everything is fine except for the internet. I have Comcast hi-speed using an arris modem. The browser lets me visit some sites (google.com (and everything affiliated with google, like gmail), www.ais.edu, and a few more -- i found these by just doing random guesses in the address bar) but nothing else loads. Like, when I do a google search I can't load any of the pages that show in the results.
I did a search here and noticed someone asked to do a cat /etc/resolv.conf settings and this is what showed:
search hsd1.wa.comcast.net.
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xxx
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xxx
When I went into the network settings panel, my ip address looks correct, so does the gateway, and dns servers (i know this because I am comparing them to what "ipconfig /all" gives me in windows) -- I mean, after all, I am getting the internet; I just can only access certain sites for whatever reason.
Now, when I look at the connection settings I believe everything is alright -- I mean, I am using DHCP and everything is set to "automatic discovery".
Now, for some history
I had MandrivaOne installed for a few days about a week ago and I had the exact same problem. i could get google and a few others but thats it. Also, the network monitor showed I was connecting at a very low rate (like 1-2kbs) even thoug the pages seemed to load just as fast as in xp. Well, since I couldn't get it to work, I uninstalled Mandriva.
Now I came across Kubuntu today and wanted to give it another go. So i downloaded it and decided to see if the internet would connect before installing it but, as noted, no luck.
I *really, really* would like to install and keep kubuntu, so please help me someone
Sorry for the long post, but I need some help!!
