That was it. My router can handle static DNS, his can't. I had already edited etc/network/interfaces and changed it from DHCP to static, and entered the DNS IPs. But that appeared not to have helped. After your email came, I thought a bit and realised that I had not checked etc/resolv.conf. Bingo! I looked and it was wrong. A careful read of the relevant part of the man entry later, I edited resolv.conf using kwrite, saved and It Worked! Browsing is fast and accurate. In all software. It has even survived two reboots. So thank you very, very much for your help. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
