[ug-bosug] Unable to access the web from SXDE 9/07

[Zoram Thanga]

Well now it has automagically worked again! I am not sure what exactly 
was the problem, but I might have enabled nwam but disabled DHCP on the 
router or disabled nwam (used static IP) but enabled DHCP on the 
router...duh.

Now I can use either setting - DHCP or static IP - without problems. Go 
figure :)

Thanks,
Zoram
