The fix should be simple :-)  Open a terminal window, login as root via
the su command, and edit the file.

Try:

emacs /etc/sysconfig/network
change http://www.xtra.co.nz to rosem.xtra.co.nz
to save in emacs, type CTRL+X, then CTRL+S.
to quit emacs once you're done, type CTRL+X, CTRL+C

type:
reboot

that should do it.
