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.
