WebPositive sais "Couldn't resolve host name".

Forum thread started by MrAccident on Thu, 2012-06-07 14:31

when I type a site's address.
I talked to the internet provider; and they said that the address in "network connection" (or how it's called) is correct; and they see that I'm connected.
The time set on the clock is correct; without me setting it. So does that mean I have connection?
Is there another way to know if I'm connected?

Obvious question: did you have tried the ping command? Can you ping any website/ip address?

Can you give a clue, as to how to do that?

Try this in Terminal:

ping 8.8.8.8

If it pings try to ping a domain name:

ping google.com

If this one doesn't ping check network preflet and set DNS #1 to 8.8.8.8

In the terminal it says:
ping sendto: No route to host
ping wrote 8.8.8.8 64 chars, ret=-1

ping google.com
error: unknown host:google.com

And all the rest is the same.
