[olpc-help] Browser failed to connect

[mattsalz]

Did you try entering http://209.85.133.18/   in your browser ?
Does google come up?

I went back and checked my /etc/resolv.conf file it is still being generated by NetworkManager and is not the same as when I manually set it. 

etc/resolv.conf is exactly the same as before I manually set it, when the browser failed to connect !! 

I am not sure why but manually setting it that one time seems to fix something?
