Like this:

root@tis-server:~# ping www.google.com

ping: unknown host www.google.com



root@tis-server:~# ping 8.8.8.8

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

It was tinkered by somebody else and I (and him!) cant trace his actions. The graphical connection manager also refuses to work thanks to the tinkering.

It also makes route add default gw 192.168.0.1 necessary for each reboot to atleast ping by IP.

How do I fix this?

It is Ubuntu 11.10
