That tells you that the browser does not know how to resolve the domain name www.google.co.uk.

If you're connected to the internet you should be able to go to http://66.102.11.99

Edit your /etc/resolv.conf and use an appropriate nameserver. After this check if you can do a

$ nslookup www.google.co.uk

when I type that IP, konqueror says: 'could not connect to host', I don't understand, how I should change resolv.conf? In resolv.conf I've only some data like this:
search for hinet.hr
servername 192.168.25.25
...
can you please explain with more details if is possible.

in my resolv.conf are dns numbers of my ISP, but now my modem gives some strange dial tone... with same configuration
