Repairing resolve.conf
In rare cases, the ISP will fail to send the correct DNS addresses to the user or the DNS addresses are not working quickly or correctly, you will need to manually add them in/change them.
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
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.
