Kent, Meni ... or anyone who knows the way things work around here ... Should I submit a bug report on this? I don't know in which package the bug is, or even if it really is a kernel problem. But I think that it is clear that there is a problem here - it's not just my the config of my machine or

If I make /etc/resolv.conf point directly to the DNS, nothing works, on either kernel. I think the router is blocking direct DNS. I could probably change that but don't really want to mess with it as it seems to be working fine. If I get some time mayeb I will. -- Daniel McBrearty Electronics and

Hi Kent It's the same in both cases. They point to the router. I tried some other browsers. Firefox, mozilla and epiphany all have the same problem. Konqueror doesn't. So it is both kernel dependent AND browser dependent (I think firefox and moz are pretty much the same beast underneath, so I'm n

Hi Meni The really weird thing that I don't get is that I only get the problem with 2.6 - not with 2.4. It seems that I'm not the only person to experience this problem: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/06/msg01209.html (but this guy received no answer, and his email address no longer e

sorry ... I forgot to add: 1. mozilla is configured for direct connection - no proxy. 2. DNS in the linux box points to the router which forwards back to the ISP DNS (seems to get auto-configured and I haven't changed it. Wouldn't know what to change it to ...) Problem is exactly the same in othe

Hi, did you try traceroute to domain-name? Did you check mozilla preferences?? may you have a problem with proxy defenisions?? I would try to enabale proxy on http traffic and see if that helps? (the proxy will catch the request and try to resolve it himself - not using your dns's) MeniOn 6/1/0

Thanks Kent and Meni. Hmmm. Yes, things got a bit better after I sorted out the router (I had been tweaking in desperation, restored factory defaults and set up the DSL iface). I now have all OK with my 2.4.27 kernel. But with 2.6.8 kernel, still problems: - can ping hosts by name - can ping hos

Hi, Have you try telnet from consol to domain port 80? or to IP port 80? Did you get a connection? If not, do you run a firewall? if so reconfigure it or just disable it. If you do get a connection with IP and not domain name, then you should check /etc/resolv.conf and put there you ISP nameserver

Hi Have an odd problem that I can't work out. I I recently took out my wireless networking (driver was ndiswrapper for a dlink card) and replaced it with a normal wired connection via eth0. Since then, I can ping any website as a normal user, but mozilla waits indefinitely for a response from tha
