I just get the following response:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

I don't know how to do this but I am not having any problems when 
running Windows on the same computers. Also, I have previously used

I get the following response:

search quicksilver.net.nz
nameserver 202.89.128.16
nameserver 202.89.128.16
domain quicksilver.net.nz
