god damn nokia, just when they start doing something right. some smart *** developer goes and screws it up by not testing the firmware..how in gods name does something this big get by them?!!?

I too also have the same problem. Has anyone confirmed if reflashing the firmware works at all??

@DaveQB: I ran through the checks you walked through, and my /etc/dnsmasq.conf was good after the update and didn't need the changes you indicated, so I tried the above solution.
Cool, no worries.

I think the best way to troubleshoot this is to:

Code:
nslookup google.com
It should say something about using 127.0.0.1 and return an IP address.

If not, put into /etc/resolv.conf

Code:
nameserver 4.2.2.1
And try again.
Code:
nslookup google.com
It should resolve then there is definitely a dns look up issue with your resolv files. What could be unique to each, depending on what files you edited by hand and what files were edited by apps from extra etc..

Hmmm I am not entirely convinced that this is a Nokia caused problem.

I am thinking it is either

1. You edited a file by hand so the update didn't overwrite that file but you need the changes. The default behaviour with any Linux system, but maybe it shouldn't be with this phone.

2. An application made changes and Nokia was unaware of these changes [how many apps are there] and thus broken the system when the update came through, making changes that tested fine on an N900 that had standard apps installed.

Unless I'm missing something... this problems is caused by installing extras-devel software VPNC.

Seriously.. if you're going to use extras-devel software.... This really isn't anybody else's fault......

These people aren't getting paid to maintain these packages...

I believe you hit it on the head. I think it has to do with the vpnc prog. I had it installed and uninstalled it before doing the update and I am having the same issues. I am going to try flashing mine with the new software update.

I think an easy way to find a lead on your problem would be to find /etc/ config files that were not updated with the update.

Code:

find /etc/ -iname "*dpkg-dist*"
Post back here what that turns up.

It is a dns / vpnc issue. I edited my resolv.conf file and there wasn't anything there and I added the nameserver line and it resolves the dns now.

This is the only file that came up:
/etc/udhcp/libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dist

Yes i see what you are saying but, i didnt edit anything by hand or manualy as my linux knowledge is n00b.
and i believe some people are saying it is 100% vpnc program that is causing the problem? i dont or never have had that program installed on my phone to the best of my knowledge.

although i have gone through my programs and deleted quite a few programs inc telnet and a few other but no vpnc. based on that is it worth reflashing?

once again i dont mean to take the piss out of the developers.
as decent as Nokias phones are they sometimes can become quite infuriating to understand wtf is going on..

Ok here is what is in each file:

libicd_network_ipv4.script.dpkg-dis:
run-parts -a "$1" /etc/maemo-dhcp.d

libicd_network_ipv4.script:
/etc/udhcpc/default.$1
