No, I didn't. :-( Now all I have to work out is where next??
The computer is attached to the network. I can ping it from another computer
on the network, the router lists it as an attached device and the router can
ping it. Other computerrs on the same net, using the same gateway, are
accessing the internet fine, so it isn't a supply outage.
Bash has not yet been installed, which makes running tests from the
installation a trifle tricky for me. The obvious thing to try next would
have been to test the internet with IP - i.e. establish whether it is a DNS
problem. But without ping, I don't know how to do this.
Thanks,
Lisi
