OK i have a Notebook with a intel 2200b/g wireless and a good old regular cat5 port if I use either one of them, I lose the ability to browse to other pages than the Current one that is displayed. Not sure if it is named that is causing all the problems or if it is cache-nameserver. As I type this message, i can ping any IP address out there but if I try to ping by name e.g www.google.com, i get a unknown host response.
[root JimsNotebook ~]# ping -c4 www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com
