==Repairing resolve.conf==

In rare cases, the ISP will fail to send the correct DNS addresses to the user and you will need to manually add them in.

To do so, you will need to open /etc/resolv.conf with nano from the terminal using the command.

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

In nano, you will need to edit the file to include these lines of code

domain fglan
search fglan
nameserver ***.***.***.***
nameserver ***.***.***.***

In the place of the *s, put in the DNS Server Addresses.

==DNS Servers==

You should always include two DNS addresses for safety.

==Google Public DNS addresses==

*8.8.8.8
*8.8.4.4

==OpenDNS==

*208.67.222.222
*208.67.220.220
