Let's say User X posts this question:

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2 and whenever I go to google.com it goes to fleshbot instead. It's a fresh install and I'm using OpenDNS. My HOSTS file is as follows:

    # The hosts file assigns the name of a web page/site on the Internet  
    # to an IP address. This bypasses the normal DNS system.  
    # Each entry should be on a single line. The IP address should`
    # start in the first column followed by one or more spaces  
    # followed by the web page/site name. 
    #
    # Any line, such as this one, that starts with a number sign is a comment  
    # Comments can also appear on a line with a real entry as shown below  
    #  
    # Sample Entries:  
    #      123.98.76.54     news.yahoo.com      # Yahoo News

    127.0.0.1       localhost  
    21.124.223.123  www.google.com
    #User X is such a jerk LOL
  
   The output of ifconfig is as follows:
