I just installed 11.04 after running win7 with 11.04 for a while with no problems. The internet seemed fine because I was just downloading stuff with software update and things like that, but when I went to use firefox, and them chromium, all I get is 1. a page that says the page I'm looking for is unavailable, and 2. when I reload, the page sometimes comes in, but in a plain text format, and then it's super-spotty. I've been looking here for something that might help me figure it out, but so far no joy. I'm a newbie, but I ran ifconfig, but don't know how to interpret it. I don't know how to figure out what drivers I have or even what type of card I have. I have a dell 1012 netbook. Tell me what to do. I'm having to use a different computer for the internet right now. Thanks.

This might be due to a bad nameserver, try using an other nameserver (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are from Google and publicly available) – LasseLuttermann Aug 14 '11 at 19:14
