Cannot resolve hostname

[mbtpani]

Hi,

I'm new user of Raspberry PI and trying to setup a internet connection, i'm successful in connecting my router/modem and could see the IP assigned Raspberry PI, but when i try to access any website i'm getting an error "Cannot resolve hostname".

Any information in this regard would be more helpful.

Thanks
M Bala

what does /etc/resolv.conf say?

what does /etc/resolv.conf say?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/resolv.conf

It was empty and then I added the below entry

name server 8.8.8.8

name server 8.8.8.8

It needs to be

Code: Select all

nameserver 8.8.8.8

with NO SPACES.
