Internet issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10

Most likely the symbolic link /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf is missing on your system. To restore it, do the following in a terminal.

sudo apt-get install resolvconf
sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

If you want to use 8.8.8.8 as your nameserver then set up either ifup or NetworkManager to use that nameserver address for the interface(s) that it brings up.

If you use ifup then edit /etc/network/interfaces and, in the stanza for the interface in question, add the line "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8"; then ifdown the interface and ifup it again.

If you use NetworkManager then open the connection editor and add 8.8.8.8 as an additional nameserver address (network indicator | Edit Connections... | Wireless | myconnection | Edit... | IPv4 Settings | Additional DNS servers).

Torrent downloading is increasing day by day as newbie internet explorer's (people) are stepping into this hardcore networking world. Everything from games, movies, songs, wallpapers are available for free on torrents. You just need a good bittorent client.

Well so today I thought posting a list of Top 5 torrent search engines, that are good and off course these are virally used by millions of people all over the world. So check below list.

1. Torrentz.com – is on number 1 in this list, well this is recommended as it has a good search algorithms. So if you ever search for any file name in Google with torrent word added to it this will surely top the list, that's because it contains links to other torrent websites with source file link, so you can download from that websites easily. [Link]
2. ThePirateBay.se – well I do not have to give brief explanation about this website, as it is the most popular sites with direct traffic, so when ever people need something they just pump in the sitename and get their download. Well some links does not have that Download Torrent link else you need to get through that Magnet Link but that's not a big problem and it works great. [Link]
3. Mininova.org – mininova is another big torrent search engine with reputed safe torrents. Well its not as popular as above two torrent sites and even it just has an alexa rank of 11,000 something in comparison to ThePirateBay and other with 85 rank worlwide simple awesome. But still it's a good place for some awesome downloads. [Link]
4. Kat.ph – short for KickAssTorrents is simply awesome and one of my best website for downloading torrents. Well it has a revolutionary design as compared to other torrent websites, simple awesome the movies section contains different tabs for every variant to download the perfect movie in perfect size. So I think it's a good website. [Link]
5. ExtraTorrent.com – is basically another awesome torrent search engine, well according to me its mostly known for some adult stuff, so overall it's a good search engine and people do prefer due to its overall popularity. So Extra Torrent can also be used to download movies, games, songs etc. [Link]

So now overall all these websites are illegal and maybe they will get shutdown soon, as we all are just pirating the whole paid stuff, so till you have them available use them till they vanish into the past.

How to Block Porn Adult Websites without using Software

Online porn is just increasing day by day, people are enjoying these stuff but still many parent's are little worried about their children getting evolved in all these activities in really early age. Well I remember that when I started browsing there were no restrictions as my parents were not knowing much about this internet but now parents are little aware about these stuff and they continuously trying to add some restriction in their children's daily internet browsing schedule.
Well I think restricting is not a good way to stop your children from browsing these kind of stuff but you need to have much more Intel on how these things can be taken down and may be stopped at some point.
Well these are many software's available that claims to work and they do work like I listened about the Net Nanny and many others but today I will show a manual and free way to block all the porn sites on any particular computer. This involves in changing the DNS to Open DNS that automatically blocks all the bad websites.

1. Open Control Panel and click on Network and Sharing Center.
2. Now on this page just click on the connection you are connected to and that will popup the dialog with many options.
3. Now just click on the Properties Tab and you will see some options double click on the Internet Protocol version 4 and at the bottom choose Use the Following DNS Servers and add below DNS Server numbers to it. 208.67.222.123
   208.67.220.123
   
4. Now when you will add above DNS Server number it will look something like right image, so now this is it just click on Apply and OK.
5. Now your DNS Servers are changed and now just try to open any adult website, it will be automatically blocked. And you will see message like below.

So now it not a full proof protection for your children's or your friends, but still if they do not know much about these technical stuff except opening Google and searching than it will work seriously fine.
