I got fed up with Vista and put Ubuntu 9.10 onto my computer everything is working fine. I have learn a few things about how to run it sense then, but sometimes when I want to go to a website it would read:
404 on found
even though it is a website I was able to go onto before when I used the live CD version of Ubuntu. Also sometime it will redirect me to a different website example: I want to go to facebook and it direct me to some tech or business site. I need help trying to straightening this problem out.
see if any name-servers pop up.
If not contact your provider for name-server ips, so that you can configure them manually.
Or make sure that you have selected automatic configuration of name servers.
I have not used Ubuntu, so I am not sure of network configuration utility available to you.

A name server has popped up, but sometimes when searching the web and going to a site it gives me the Error and sometimes it doesn't.
I tried Nslookup on "www.syfy.com/ghosthunters/" and it couldn't find it.
Then I tried going on the site again and it found it. Weird.
try nslookup on www.syfy.com only because thats the name of the server.
You will probably find the dns used to resolve the address. Check if any of your friends use the same dns as you are, try using dns they are using.
Also make sure that if you supposed to use a proxy server, then you will have to make necessary changes in proxy server settings
