I started my laptop yesterday and i don’t think I made ANY config changes but my laptop did crash and I had to force a reboot.
Now I am unable to perform a nslookup. i can connect to the wireless fine, get an IP address and even connect to my phone over wifi, but as soon as I try goto a website it fails.
I can ping websites using the IP address e.g. I can ping 208.67.222.222 fine.

Delete /etc/resolv.conf and reboot. That should fix the problem. If not, come
back for more suggestions.
It’s really wierd as there were lots of different resolv.confg.XXXX files I thought they were generated when I connected to the wireless using the KDE network manager.
I dont know why I didn’t try delelting/renaming the file - so obvious really!
All those resolv.confg.XXXX files are not doing anything. They are leftovers from different ways of editting the real file. You can delete them when you want.
