View 4 RepliesI am using Squeeze and all appears OK at first... I have a DHCP lease, PING to router works, apache servering fine in and outside the network, Epiphany seems to connects to default debian.org only, BUT I cannot connect to any other websites and apt will not connect to any servers. I installed once, tried to fix problem, gave up and reinstalled and still have the same problem.
I unistalled Network Manager thinking that was the problem, but still the same issue. Is there a default firewall blocking certain connections or am I missing something I'm supposed to know about? I installed some non-free firmware in the beginning of install and all worked... and I connected fine when downloading packages during install.
When I go out of town I normally take my Acer Netbook to travel light. I ran into a problem over the weekend which I have seen before and couldn't find the cause. I used the wifi at the house I was staying at and could connect to the router via Wicd and ping outside IP addresses, however, I could not connect to any websites with Iceweasel or Midori. I receive the generic error that the browser is unable to connect. Now that I am back at my house I cannot repeat the problem, but have found a couple threads about disabling ipv6 protocol. The symptoms sound like a browser setting, but I couldn't find any settings that looked unusual.

Open a terminal window2. Enter the command sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf3. Change the following line:hosts: files mdns4_minimal [notfound=RETURN] dns mdns4to this:hosts: files dns4. Press Ctrl-X, Y, Enter to saveExplanation:Ubuntu ships configured to do name lookups for self-configuring networks, based on the AppleTalk / mDNS / Bonjour protocol. In the configuration shipped for the resolver, this protocol is considered the final aurhority for the ".local" top level domain, and DNS will not be checked. The above configuration change eliminates this and restricts lookups to (a) /etc/hosts file, followed by (b) DNS

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was having no problems (that I knew of) browsing the web since installing Ubuntu 10.10 a week or so ago. I was previously trialling Win7 as my customers will likely be using that in the future. Then I wanted to go to internode.on.net. Got the following: Quote: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at internode.on.net. or Quote: Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to internode.on.net
As it was just after Christmas I thought it must be down, for upgrades or maintenance etc. I later tried to go to Freebsd.org; same error. I've been having a small number of other websites give the same error. I thought nothing of this until I tried it on my wife's macpro. I could log onto all the websites I wanted to and none gave any indication of having been down. Both boxes are on the same adsl connection. I still can't access internode or freebsd on 10.10 yet have been able to access every website on OSX. Now, I was only looking at them for info but am worried I won't be able to access something important. (so far everything I 'need' is working)
ping just drops out. edit: weirdest thing! I just retried and now can not emulate the problem for internode. freebsd still won't show. that is less than five minutes between problems and resolution! I hadn't even posted! But I still would like to have an idea of what is going on. Here is the ping error for freebsd: Quote:

I am using my netbook with Squeeze when I travel. I recently started getting a msg "Network discovery service has been disabled" or something to that effect. And many websites have been blocked as well. I discovered that I could remove avahi-daemon to fix it and I have done so. Unfortunately, the websites are still blocked even though I no longer get the msg. I could not even post this msg here with Linux and had to boot with Windows to do it. It is a shame. Can someone please tell me how to unblock those websites.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having no luck configuring ProFTPd on a Debian Lenny production server we use to host our MySQL databases and a few websites. I had originally set it up so I could login and manage our internal sites, but I have the need to allow a few clients in to access their sites that we host. I am trying to root the users in their site directory, which would be "/sites/www.whatever.com/".
It just hit me while typing this. Is it possible to create a user without a shell to prevent login via SSH and set the home folder to /sites/whatever instead of /home/username? That would allow me to continue operating with my current configuration and root them in their site while preventing SSH logins.
I'm a new debian user. I install a Debian in Virtualbox, and try to connect to the source list to update, but it can't connect to the server, while network and internet connection works. This is my sources.list

I'm unable to hear sound from vid streaming sites like you tube.
have no probs with normal vids and mp3's... just from streaming stuff.
I was using Fedora 14, and yum works. However websites like [URL] don't unless I open a terminal and type "ping google.com" then copy that ip address into the web browser.
This doesn't seems to be JUST a fedora issue. I haven't tried fedora 15 alpha, but OpenSuse 11.4 seems to have the same exact problem except Zypper/yast don't work.
Many of yum's servers don't work but eventually after a couple of failures to accept the connection it finally works. Very odd. I tested the latest Kubuntu and it does work as does my windows partition.
(I should also add that this problem also exist in virtualbox).
Certain websites do not open on any browser on my 10.04. I tried [URL]... and those sites were up. I rebooted into windows and it opens. I changed my dns server to open dns then google dns but did not solve the problem.I have a dsl connection with automatic dhcp. While googling i read about nsswitch.conf and this is what is presently looks like
Code:
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

I tried clearing cache and deleting history but didn't work.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have firefox mozilla Version 3.6.17 i checked a few places and it says to delete my cookies and cache helped a little but still no good. I then turned to networks settting and put on no proxy, still nothing. So i downloaded another web broswer called epiphany, I am still not able to get on the websites that arent working on mozilla. On the other computers used in the house...all the websites work perfectly fine so its not the server.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI had Fedora 12 installed on my laptop and everything was working okay.
After making a fresh install of Fedora 14 I can now only access some websites, others cannot be found.
I have spent hours trying to resolve this without success.
I just installed Fedora 15 and everything is working ok except i can't connect to some websites such as facebook or hotmail. I tried doing the same on windows and everything is ok there. I've been searching through forum about this problem but nothing seems to help. Has anyone else had this kind of problem and managed to fix it?

I am having, just installed a fresh 9.10. The only thing I did was an update and installed the wireless drivers. Well i went to to download my favorite browser Opera and firefox just times out. I can get to other websites just fine so far. Though it looks like Office Depot won't let me in either. If I boot into Windows I can connect to either site just fine.

These two sites are crucial for me, and I cant boot in back to Vista to just view these two sites.
Is anyone else too facing this issue?
I tested this even on ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop.
I would like to know if it's possible and how to see what websites my neighbours visit using my BB connection. I leave it open out of courtesy really, Nice peeps around here. And i have been in the situation myself when my connection went down and was piggy backing on my neighbours for a while. It's a sky BB router btw.
