I am enjoying learning about Linux but am not very experienced.I can work with windows xp but ubuntu is more satisfying. I would like to learn more. I am disabled and through this I am now unable to work.I worked for 37 years on Buses and transport. I have 3 dogs,3 cats and am a vegetarian.

Ok guys.Just spoke with isp who tells me everything is good their end. Its NOT dns as that works fine on laptop.I am connedcted through ethernet but also via a router which is my modem and router all in one. I am served by Virgin Media and they say to ask how to clear cookies and temp files on linux as they think this may be the problem.

I also did the ping with google and received the correct reply so I am now in the process of phoning my ISP. But as it is Virgin I dont suppose they will be much help as they probably only support windows :)
