Symptoms: Any package that needs access to the network sends an error 
message indicating that it doesn't have access to the internet. Ping 
doesn't work for names but does for ip addresses. All ip addresses both 
local and global.

In short, there doesn't seem to be any access to a name server. My 
believe that my Actiontec router at 192.168.1.1 also acts as a name server.

Thanks for the help
