Ubuntu 12.10
I'll explain the first problem. Sometimes when I load a webpage it never finishes loading and it says cannot reach server or something like that. When I ping that website, the terminal says it cannot resolve the hostname. So I then tried Google's DNS servers but had no luck there. It's weird because I've never had this problem in Windows 7. I used
cat /etc/resolv.conf
and it came up with this:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1
search hsd1.or.comcast.net
Why would it use 127.0.1.1? Does that mean it's trying to resolve addresses locally? When I ping the comcast search server I get a timeout error.
