The dns problem for ubuntu

Actually I got this problem while using suse. How this happen I don't know; however, I know the solution I think.
The problem is opening another page which has a different URL entered. For instance, when you enter http://www.yahoo.com then the www.google com page opens. This makes the user crazy. If you live such things, it means you have a dns problem. But don't worry, there is a solution of every problem in Linux.

first you will press Alt+F2
you will see this box below


Enter the command:

gksudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

Then enter the password. You will edit the text on file dhclient.conf.
Find the line

#prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;

(this IP may differ)
and edit it like this

prepend domain-name-servers 195.175.39.39,195.175.39.40;

(don't forget to erase the shell at start of line)

howto: limewire on ubuntu

Limewire is a good p2p program,;however, ther is not a debian package on www.limewire.com. So if we need to install limewire on ubuntu there is a simple way:)
1.The rpm package of limewire is downloaded from www.limewire.com


2. Then install alien which is a package converter for ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install alien


3.After installing alien command this:
sudo alien -d LimeWireLinux.rpm

This command will generate the debian package of limewire. If the name of downloaded file is different, just command

sudo alien -d "the name of th file" #don't use quotations.


4. Now you can install it by dpkg or clicking on the icon of .deb package, whatever you want:)

installing with dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i limewire-free_4.13.0-1_i386.deb

That's all...

important note: The JRE must be installed, because limewire is a written in java.
