Ok stopped & removed.

Still no difference :-(  
I'm getting a bit peed off with it all really, I thought Linux was easy to
get connected with !
I've never had this much trouble before. Even with a windows98 laptop I
managed to get networking copied across to it & working!

Is there any way I can tell what the DNS is actually doing.
If I ping an address, _sometimes_ I can get the browser to connect to it,
but not always.
