OK. Opened up Network Settings. Correct IP address already there. So I entered
my ISPs address in the'Search Domains' box. I can now access a few websites,
but only a few - www.debian.org, and its variations, www.greenparty.org.uk,
www.kde.org. www.wikkipedia.org thought about it but then gave up. Cannot
access Google, Yahoo, www.bbc.co.uk, www.gnome.org. All come back with the
message 'server is unreachable' but they can all be pinged. Apt still
says 'network is unreachable' and Evolution still refuses to connect.
ARGH!!
