If you have a DNS problem, and it appears from what you posted you do, edit /etc/resolv.conf as root user. In Ubuntu use the 'sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf' file and add the lines, so it looks like this:

You can use the nameservers I am showing, they are there for anyone to use.

As an alternative, you can get the nameserver IP addresses form your service provider, and use them instead. Either should work.

If it does not, you will have to supply more information on your internet connection, your ISP, and hardware information.

You should restart your system after the edit.

getting sudo gedit command not found

so using vi resolv.conf

changed to

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

:wq (save)

init 6

after reboot i chked resolv.conf

it turned bk to

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1

<,<

What is happening is your router is sending back its nameserver config and overwritting your updated config. That is OK, now that I know you have a router, you need to update the nameserver entires in your router. 192.168.1.1 should be your gateway address. If you know how to connect to your router, change the nameserver entries there. If you do not know how to do that, post the make and model. Most of them have manuals you can find on manufacturers web sites.

after enabling line

in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf(got from here)

prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;

i am able to access net , installed gnome now . thanks all for helping
