808439 2009-09-09 11:37:00 Yello, I have installed Ubuntu 8.06 on a separate box and connected to the net through a D-Link dsl 502t.
I also have an XP pc connected through the same router.

When I installed Ubuntu, I just plugged the network cable straight into an ethernet switch, both computors can access the net but i am having a problem connecting Ubuntu to M/soft to download net 2.0 and assorted apps to run Winetricks. I didn't any settings into ubuntu and it has been suggested that the DNS might be the problem.
The error log is as follows:

""e:~$ sh winetricks msxml3
Executing wget -O msxml3.msi -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate download.microsoft.com
--17:38:41-- download.microsoft.com
=> `msxml3.msi'
Resolving download.microsoft.com... 1.0.0.0
Connecting to download.microsoft.com|1.0.0.0|:80..."

I have run ipconfg in the xp box and got the addresses but not sure which ones go where in Ubuntu, any help appreciated, TIA, whenu

That sure does look like a DNS problem .

If you are connecting fine to the internet fine otherwise then maybe wget has cached the wrong address (1 . 0 . 0 . 0) for some reason . Try killing all instances of wget - better yet, reboot . Wget will then try to re-resolve the correct address .

vinref; I'll try that today sometime.
gary; I need to run 8.06 so that Emc will run and the later versions aren't compatible, cheers
