215705 2004-02-15 06:45:00 Hey Guys n Gals,

I have just installed the latest release of Fedora and all went swimingly.

Except.

I cant browse.

I can ping using names. I can reach my router using mozzilla. I just cant get to the net.

Any ideas?
Shaun Minfie (2961)
215706 2004-02-15 07:11:00 You can ping using names.. Like:
ping pressf1.co.nz
That means that DNS must be resolving for pings.

Try:
http://210.48.100.45

That's PressF1, see if that'll do anything
Also, trype:
route
as root, and post the output on here.

Also, if you could:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
That may help :-)

Does epiphany / nautilus / konqueror work?

Cheers

okay. http://210.48.100.45 will not conect.

Output from route is:

Sorry for the long post but I figure more is better.

215708 2004-02-16 20:30:00 Hi Shaun,

No worries about the post length, there's many that are 10x that length ;-)

When you installed FC rc2, did you configure a firewall by any chance?

The router _looks_ alright.
Your network card configuration looks good.

Im assuming your router does DNS forwarding?


Ive just woken up with a headache, I'll check back later today and see if anybody else has any other ideas, or I'll ask around a little.

Cheers

215709 2004-02-16 21:19:00 I notice from Shaun's output that he is using IPv6 instead of IPv4. Would this have any bearing upon the lack of internet access? What ISP's offer IPv6? Jen C (20)
215710 2004-02-16 23:13:00 Note to self Dont close browser halfway through replying

>When you installed FC rc2, did you configure a firewall by any chance?

Yep. I installed twice. Once without and once with. Didnt make any difference.

>Im assuming your router does DNS forwarding?

I'll have to assume that as well as I cant see anything about it on the spec sheet. I know it does NAT though. It a Dynalink RTA200.

Really strange. I can traceroute using names and its fine so the DNS must be working. The browser resolves them it just wont conect. Same applies to any other net app.

On a side note. This board wont accept blah ?

Good God. Something else to worry about. Now I know I never told it to do that. I'm a default kinda guy and when I see a question I have no idea about I just go with the flow. Would it do this as a default?
Shaun Minfie (2961)
215712 2004-02-16 23:54:00 Okay..... That's interesting.

As a side note, click Formattting Options when next replying ;-)

You may want to try another Browser.. Mozilla Firefox per say.

Im thinking the setting may be browser-specific?

...Clutching at straws here....

215713 2004-02-17 00:46:00 Ok. I should have been more specific. Its not just browsing its all net access from all apps. Email, newsgroups IM etc.

Got me buggered.
Shaun Minfie (2961)
215714 2004-02-17 01:24:00 Come on Chill.... recommend that he Shaun goes back to IE6 and XP as an OS... come to the dark side...

If it's defaults you like, then that'll get you going with no hassle...

I wonder if anyone would port IE6 or other Microsoft product to Linux... that would be funny! ;)

Lo.
