Hey guys-
I'm a pretty experienced ubuntu user, but networking is not my forte. After connecting to my wireless network this morning (just like I do everyday), I failed to get internet. Everything is connecting just fine, but I'm getting an unknown host error (for example) when I ping.
Here's my question: If my /etc/resolv.conf file looks fine, why is my DNS screwed up?
In fact, everything looks just fine - I can't track down any problems. Here's some output:
cat /etc/resolv.conf

I've tried restarting and messing with everything I know how. There were no kernel upgrades between today and yesterday, and no changes to my computer that I can recall except for 2 things
1. apt-get remove firestarter
2. I manually downloaded and installed the new virtualbox-ose-modules-generic package for my new kernel version (which was new a few days ago, but the wireless WAS working with it before today)
I need desperate help - I make a living on my computer!!!
Thanks!
