[sf-lug] resolver problem

[jim]

     Your /etc/resolv.conf file shows that you have
a single nameserver with an IP address of 10.0.0.2

     A network that has 10 as its first IP address
number is a private network that cannot connect
with publicly available networks (mainly internet
available hosts).

     I'm guessing you've set up your home network
as a 10. network. You may have (or had) a nameserver
at 10.0.0.2 or maybe you set up a gateway (router
connected to some ISP) at that address.

     A question that I cannot answer is from where
did the 10.0.0.2 IP address come from.

     When you boot your computer, is it using
dhclient to get a dhcp IP address or is your
computer configured for a static address?
     If static, then look at your /etc/network/interfaces
file to see if it has a gateway directive in your
interface clause.
     If dhcp then inspect your router to see the
gateway (external) network IP address, and maybe
ISP docs to verify the nameserver IP address.

     Those more knowledgeable than I may know how
to force nameserver IP addresses into your
/etc/resolv.conf (and /run/{resolvconf,network}/ )
files
