That means you are running a resolvconf. Try adding to network config file above after gateway line:

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

C

Clem,

it is correct but - without the network configuration files - if Gunasekaran has already a different DNS defined in the network specifications or somewhere else maybe that the google DNS will be overidden and the name resolving generates anyway issues.

Simply your DNS is not resolving. So edit or create /etc/resolv.conf adding: (Google public DNS)

nameserver 8.8.8.8

nameserver 8.8.4.4

Edit: element14Dave could you please move this to Raspberry Pi section. Gracias!

Can you show the network configuration file ? Did you specify one or more DNS servers ?
