This overrides what ever your router is sending out as part of the DHCP information. As Bruce said, comment it out, or remove it, and restart the interface.Did as Bruce suggested. Still acts the same. (Apologies to Bruce for not reading his post more closely. Frustration I guess) I found the following: /etc/hosts correct as I had changed back to 127.0.0.1 ]# ifdown eth0 gave me a SELinux warning in permissive mode ]# ifup eth0 Determining IP information for eth0...dhclient(4380) is already running- exiting.This version of ISC DHCP is based on the release available on ftp.isc.org.

Rebooted. Still no joy. Boinc and xchat work with no problem. Evo starts offline. But when put online it works. Neither FireFox nor Epiphany work.If that does not do the trick, then check your router setup. It is possible to set up a router so it gives out the wrong DNS server information though the default setting normally work fine.Don't know I how to check my router setup or how to reset it programmatically. I can push the reset button or unplug it. ]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The 169.254.0.0 presumably is my ISP (Rogers Cable). What now?
The usual way to check/change settings on the router is to open the web browser to http://192.168.1.1 and log in. This should be covered by the router manual. Unplugging the router will not change anything - the settings are saved. On most home routers, pressing the reset button also does not reset the router. You have to hold it in for anything from 10 seconds to a full minute. This prevents accidental resets.
You also want to be careful when you unplug the modem and the router. Depending on the setup, you sometimes have to let the modem go through it startup tests and indicate ready before powering up the router. My Netgear router is not happy if I power them up at the same time - I have to wait tell the router to try again, or wait until it does it by itself. I think it take something like 5 minutes after the first series of timeouts while the modem comes up. (It is a slow DSL modem, at least as far as startup goes.)
