got it going. thanks. I think I found a bug in Mint 18. I am now talking
with the mint people. Here is what I wrote them....
these are some instructions I just wrote for my future reference:
right click network connections icon -> edit connections -> <selecct>
<edit> -> ipv4 settings tab -> <method> Automatic (DHCP) addresses only
enter
96.90.175.167, 193.183.98.154, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
into DNS servers field
well it worked with mint 17.3 but not 18. it will not save
96.90.175.167, 193.183.98.154, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
but only 96.90.175.167
(FYI- 17.3 is ethernet and 18 is wifi)
