Can you get to http://208.69.38.170/ in your web browser (mozilla
firefox?) with either your wireless or wired connection? If yes, then
you should see the status page for the OpenDNS servers. This means that
DNS has not been set up properly in your Ubuntu 9.10 install. You can
fix this problem by going to the terminal and typing: /sudo apt-get
install resolvconf/. If you did not see the OpenDNS status page then
there may be a problem with your network settings (Are you on DHCP?).

Regards,
Ben
