Hi,

What's up with font thingy?

Anyway configure Linux nameserver. Open /etc/resolv.conf fle
Code:
vi /etc/resolv.conf
Make sure it has name server listed as follows:
Code:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
Close the file. Use dig command to resolve google.com or just start browsing . Also make sure firewall is not blocking outgoing DNS open TCP /UDP port
See iptables rules
Code:
iptables -L -n
Dns and ping
Code:
nslookup google.com
dig google.com
ping google.com
