Re: can ping but mozilla doesn't work
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)

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 hosts by IP
- can lookup hosts using nslookup
- can see sites with mozilla if I use the IP address
- CANNOT see sites by name with mozilla.
I'm baffled. It's such an odd combination of things to be
kernel-version dependent. I have looked through kernel config for
anything that MIGHT affect DNS in any way, but no joy. I've booted up
twice into each kernel with same results, nothing else was changed in
between.
Any ideas? This has to be some glaringly obvious stupid thing that I
just can't see for looking, right .... ?
