OK I've reinstalled Debian 4.0r2, removed network-manager, dhcdbd, and the
libnm-glib0 and libnm-util0 stuff.
I have a static IP 10.0.0.6 255.255.255.0
There are NO proxies running anywhere that i'm aware of.
I have 3 other machines connected to this 4 port router all which can
connect ok & have no issues I'm aware of.
I can ping local machines by name & no.
I still can't connect to www.google.co.uk in the epiphany web browser
unless i ping the address first then it can connectm but seems to forget it
shortly afterwards ?
