No idea. I physically packed up my computer, shipped it across the country,
and plugged it into the same model wireless router/modem that I had been
using before. The ISP is different, so I can only assume that

They shouldn't change very often. Usually you can connect to

It appears that you are not using PPP as I had assumed. If so ignore my
advice about pppconfig.

The simplest way to do this is to choose "Dynamic" in the "Configure
Nameservers" screen
Ok, I'm not sure if I've done this correctly, but I think it works now.
I installed DCHP (already had DCHPclient), and pdns-recursor. That
wasn't enough on its own, so I did a dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf,
followed by ifdown & ifup. I couldn't figure out how to restart the DNS
cache, as suggest

As mentioned before, if you're using DHCP it *should* be automatic.
However, from time to time ISPs get their configurations

Are you using DHCP? If you are, resolv.conf is normally
rewritten every time the DHCP lease changes. I believe the
DHCP server sends along DNS
Hi,
I think I've sorted out my internet connection problem, at least
temporarily. I determined that I was having DNS problems, as I could
ping numerical IP addresses, but not domain names. My resolv.conf file,
as automatically generated, lists my router's address as the nameserver.
