OK i have a Notebook with a intel 2200b/g wireless and a good old
regular cat5 port
if I use either one of them, I lose the ability to browse to other
pages than the Current one that is displayed. Not sure if it is named
that is causing all the problems or if it is cache-nameserver. As I
type this message, i can ping any IP address out there but if I try
to ping by name e.g www.google.com, i get a unknown host response.
[root@JimsNotebook ~]# ping -c4 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com

Assuming it's still telling you to use the nameserver at 127.0.0.1,
$ dig @127.0.0.1 www.google.com
