My thanks to all who replied to my question. The problem was with my local router, which I also used as DNS. After excluding it from /etc/resolv.config and /etc/init.d/net files, Firefox started to work as expected. Thanks to all of you, I now have a working Gentoo on my desktop!!! Still, a smal

Re: [gentoo-user] Browsers cannot access WWW while ping and host utilities work as expected.

Can you do a ping and see if the resolv.conf DNS ips are reachable? do a dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com ## which will do a name resolution with Google DNS servers. also pls post make sure you have correct routing table (route -n) Regards, Kurian. On Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 7:57 PM, Mick wrote: > On

Trying to migrate from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I have installed Gentoo, profile AMD64 13.0 desktop gnome. Everything so far works as expected except for Internet browsers and GNOME applets that should connect to the Internet. More exactly, Internet browsers (I have tried Firefox and Links) can connect
