Can't open websites.

Hi,
I've just set up Q4 on my old ASUS netbook & all seems o.k. but I can't open any websites. Are there any settings I need to check?

Cant open any websites?  Do you have an internet connection thats working? Bottom right corner in the taskbar, is it showing an active internet connection?

If youre using wifi you may need to install the network manager app from the Q4OS software center.

Re: Can't open websites.

Thats odd so what happens when you type in a well known website, does it say cant be accessed?  Have you tried a different browser such as Chrome/Chromium?

Is this happening only to this system or are all computers in your home affected?

@pjwilliams35
Please run a terminal command:
$ ping 8.8.8.8
to check network connectivity. If the command proceed successfully, the problem will be in the DNS configuration. Run one more command and post output here:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

What, I type $ ping 8.8.8.8? I physically type 'ping' ?

Yes, open a terminal and you should get a prompt that has your location on the computer
plus a $ sign (for example mine when opened on the Desktop will show "jim@arcadia:~/Desktop$"). Type ping 8.8.8.8 without the $ sign.

After I command "$ cat /etc/resolv.conf" I get
