 Maybe I just have something misconfigured here. I've set up a Mirabelle
 Live USB stick using the standard iso and the Windows Live USB tool.
 Booted up on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, the web browser is able to
 navigate the activity index and description pages. When I try to download
 new activities, I get an error page saying the server, usually
 mirrors.mit.edu, cannot be found. I am able to resolve and ping the server
 from the terminal program. When I take the IP address from the ping output
 and replace the hostname in the activity URL, the download succeeds.

 The laptop has both wired and wireless network interfaces. The wired
 interface is connected.

 I'm new to this system, so I would appreciate some guidance on diagnosing
 this further.
