I have been using this broadband connection for a long time. Suddenly it stopped working, it shows "Connected DSL connection 1". But whenever I try to browse any website, it doesn't load and shows "Server not found". And I am pretty much sure there is nothing wrong with my ISP or broadband line cause I am using this same line in my Windows 8.
Actually I am not sure what to put in the terminal and what result I am supposed to paste here for fixing my connection. Somehow I figured it out that it might be helpful to run 'ifconfig'. The result is following...
