[olpc-help] Ping but no browsing?

[Steve Holton]

Can you get to a well known web site using IP addresses?

For example, what happens if you type this into the Browse address bar (at
the very top of the BrowseActivity page, not the Google Search box):

    http://18.85.2.148/

If this gets you to the OLPC Support wiki, then your connectivity and
routing is fine, but your DNS service is faulty.

If this doesn't work, then you still have connectivity problems, for
example, you might be connecting to your wireless router just fine, but your
DSL is down.
