Morris,
Add to the file /etc/resolv.conf the nameservers:
--> primary DNS address 198.6.100.98
--> pppd: ���
--> secondary DNS address 198.6.1.98
please do a
$ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
and add
nameserver 198.6.100.98
nameserver 198.6.1.98
and try to surf again
when you do a cat /etc/resolv.conf you should see
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 198.6.100.98
nameserver 198.6.1.98
Report back if this helped to connect. If the machine does not connect, then your ISP might change these numbers so a different configuration will be needed.
Regards,
Antonio
