When I run a live cd or install 8.04 or 7.10 I have no internet connection or synaptic, yet ping & DNS work fine. 6.06 works fine right from install.
What has changed in later Ubuntu versions? Is there a new firewall or something?

Thanks for any help,
Steve.

Try changing your NameServer (try not to use your router's IP address). Select "Network" from the System->Administration menu and from there click on the "DNS" tab, you will see your routers IP address (i.e: 192.168.1.1) you need to remove this and replace it with your ISP's DNS entries.
