Fedora Networking :: Cannot Resolve Hostname - Connect To Internet Via Firefox

Oct 31, 2010

Cannot connect to internet via Firefox or Midori on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with a Netgear wireless card. However, I can update via yum, I can ping google from the CLI, I can ssh to my desktop, I can point a browser to find my router which /etc/resolv.conf points to, but can't get a browser to resolve hostname. I'm posting from a different machine (desktop), here is my /etc/resolv.conf:

Networking :: Ubuntu Server Cant Ping Or Connect External / Can Resolve Hostname And Domain

Oct 15, 2009

As the title suggest, I have downlaoded the latest copy of Ubuntu Server from the ubuntu website.Everything installed fine. DHCP configured ok as far as I can tell. I can ping other machines on my network (which are running Windows) and they can ping the Ubuntu machine and conenct to Apache which is running on it.If I try to ping google.com or any other domain, it gives the correct IP address but gives no response to any pings, dont telnet on port 80 (or any toher potr for that matter) on any machine on the internet. I checked the settings using ifconfig to see what DHCP had assigned, and they matched the windows machines configuration (other than the IP address obvisouly). I tried assigning a static IP, even reserving a particular IP for my NIC.

Whatever I do, i cant connect to any machine outside the network via IP or domain.I have searched everywhere and tried everything i can find on the net but still to no avail.The Windows machines are part of a domain called alcom-uk.local and run off of a Windows Small Business 2003 Server. Not sure if i need to manually setup Ubuntu to connect using a domain or anything.

Fedora Networking :: Can't Connect To Internet After F13 Install / Resolve It?

Nov 4, 2010

I've replaced Ubuntu 10.10 with F13 and can't connect to the Internet.

I'm using a WiFi connection to my router. I receive an IP address via DHCP. I can connect to the router's web configuration interface, 192.168.2.1. Same with my NAS web configuration interface.

I've also tried with Live CD (F13 and F14beta). Same thing: receive IP, connect to router's web interface, can't connect to Google.

As a check, I tried Ubuntu Live CD and I can connect to the Internet.

I've also tried F13 Live CD on my laptop. Can't connect to the Internet.

Fedora Networking :: Can't Connect Via Hostname - Cannot Access Machine

Oct 23, 2009

At school can connect to my computer via SMB/Samba and VNC from the Windows Machines, but not by hostname (I still cannot VNC in at home on my desktop computer and have yet to try Samba there because I wanna setup Samba there from the comfort of my laptop and therefore need VNC first). How come I cannot access this machine by it's hostname?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Resolve Hostname For Ping - Ssh ?

Jan 7, 2011

I have a weird problem since yesterday that I can't solve. I can't ping / ssh my machine anymore using its hostname... says "unknown host", "network unreachable". I have no idea why - it used to work perfectly. I can still ping / ssh using the IP so it must be a problem of hostname not being resolved.

I have a dynamic IP (I'm at work...) but that doesn't seem to be the problem - network manager automatically adds a line in /etc/hosts with <mycurrentip> <hostname> (I checked, it's indeed the IP given by ifconfig and that I can use to ping/ssh).

2nd question: Another computer has a similar problem but slightly different: the hostname is resolved but points to a wrong IP (seen in ping or nslookup), different from what ifconfig returns. As a result, ping times out and ssh says "no route to host".

Ubuntu Networking :: Windows Can't Resolve Lucid Hostname

Aug 22, 2010

I am currently facing one issue with my network. I have several computers and this is what happens, everything works fine when I use the ip address, but when it comes to hostname.

-Windows computers can't ping/see the computer 5 (while it is running linux), but they can see computer 3 while running ubuntu 8.10 and computer 2 while on Mac OS X.

-computers 2 and 3 can see/ping everybody while on Mac/Linux.

-computer 5 can ping everybody.

-computers 1, 2, 3 and 4 (on every OS) can see/ping computer 5 while on windows xp.

Basically, the problem is with computer 5, it can see, but it is not seen by other computers (just when running ubuntu lucid)Computer 5 is supposed to be a printer server, so it must be seen by the others regardless of OS.When I ping computers 5 the TTL is 64, when I ping other computers, TTL is 128. I don't think this means anything, but I am not sure.Initially I thought this was a printer issue, but then I realized is something related to network when I tried to use ping/explore the computer 5 by ip/hostname (it works by ip, but not by hostname).Computer 5 is sending the hostname to the router properly, it appears in the dhcp client list.

Networking :: Firefox Can Not Connect Internet (OpenSuse)?

Apr 9, 2010

I have just installed OpenSuse in a brand new desktop. I have got no problem at the installation process. Somehow, I still could not get my firefox to browse internet.I set the network configuration by applying the IP Address, Subnetmask, Standard Gateway etc. I can ping, both internal network and external network. So, I assume, there is no problem exist in relay and accept data.Still, I can not browse using firefox.I could, indeed, open the website google.com, by typing http://74.125.43.147, but can not proceed if I typed

if config =

Ubuntu :: Can't Connect To Internet Server Through Cable / Resolve This?

Sep 10, 2010

I have recently downloaded and installed ubuntu 10.4, and I am finding it impossible to connect to the Internet.

I connect to the Internet through an Ethernet cable. My university (Tuebingen, Germany) provides the Internet through this server:

http://10.196.128.11/upload/custom/green/welcome.html (English link).

When I open my browser in windows vista (I have a duel-boot system), my browser (Firefox) automatically goes to this page, and I log in, and am able to then use the Internet.

Ubuntu also searches for this 10.196.128.11 server, but it continually states "waiting for server to respond". I have checked all the settings I could find in windows and compared them to the ones in ubuntu, and they seem to be identical to me. I am using firefox in ubuntu too so I cannot understand the problem.

Fedora Networking :: Filezilla - Connect Failed With "EAI_NONAME" But Hostname Is Resolvable?

Dec 11, 2010

wonder if anyone might have a clue with this. i installed filezilla because i wanted a nice ftp client, but when i tried connecting to the server with filezilla, i get this:

Quote:Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".

yet when i googled that, i mostly found hints that said "your hostname's invalid" or "check the spelling of your hostname". well, those aren't it. i can login to this ftp server successfully through both firefox and by using a gigolo-gvfs-thunar combo.i even uploaded a file with the thunar route. and nslookup is able to see it. so what's with filezilla? by the way, this ftp account of mine is very old....i've had it for probably 10 years, and haven't logged in for 5. i'm surprised it still works.

also, why am i trying to work with filezilla when i have gigolo-gvfs-thunar? because thunar locks up and becomes completely unresponsive for a couple of minutes whenever i try to do any ftp'ing with it, even though it works. if i even so much as click on a file in my ftp directory, i have to wait two minutes before the window comes back and highlights the file i clicked.

UPDATE: just tried connecting via ftp in the command line, and no luck. so apparently it's not just filezilla. maybe i just can't ftp directly to that host anymore? but if so, then why are firefox and gigolo able to connect? networking is not one of my strong points, so this is confusing to me.

update again whaddya know, maybe i'm slowly starting to get some brains when it comes to networking. though i won't say i "figured it out"....but i did make it work. i just used the ip address nslookup reported and was able to ftp to it with both filezilla and the ftp command line. i forgot to mention that i'm behind a firewall (my router), and i guess the hostname is not in the router's DNS, if my tiny understanding of routers is correct. but connecting to the ip address directly is apparently not a problem.

Ubuntu Networking :: Samba - Connect With One Hostname But Not Another

Jan 27, 2011

Here is what I am trying to do. I set up a Samba server on Ubuntu 10.10, which seems to be working (sort of).

I set it up using Webmin, which has always worked for me before.

I set up two shares, both of which are read/write and are allowing any hosts. And are set up using the default samba configuration that is provided by Webmin.

For privacy reasons I won't disclose the domains, but I will call them test.abc.com and xyz.com

I set up /media/mount as a share called [mount_a] and I also set up /media/mount_b as [mount_b]

The server's host name in my internal network is mount-box

I originally mapped it to a sub-domain of my domain abc.com via DNS, so that test.abc.com resolves to the IP address of my router; which has all the necesarry port forwarding set up.

In windows explorer in the remote location I tested it by using \test.abc.compoonani_a, this works fine and after a password prompt I can access my files. However, I do not want to use this domain name for this server, so I registered a new domain name and again via DNS mapped domain xyz.com to the IP address of my router.

Since setting up the new hostname, I cannot connect to it via Windows to access the samba share. It just won't work. When I try to connect the password prompt appears and I put in my credentials, when I submit it the window re-appears and it has appended the servername xyz.com before the username, so it reads \xyz.com<myusername>, but won't let me connect.

If I try again with the previous hostname test.abc.com, it works fine.

What am I doing wrong that it would let me connect with one hostname, and not another.

Ubuntu Networking :: Use A Dyndns Hostname To Connect To Server

Apr 9, 2010

I've recently set up an Ubuntu server and from within the network I can do several things like: log in via SSH, transfer files via FTP, and remotely control Torrents from other computers. My end goal is to be able to access these services by using my dyndns hostname (example.dyndns.org)from an external network.

When I type my dyndns name in my web browser it opens up my router page. How would I set things up so that I can just type my dyndns hostname to point directly to my server, instead of the router page?

All computers are connected to a router which is connected to an ADSL modem, with automatically assigned I.P addresses.

Fedora Networking :: Networking - Connect To The Internet Using BSNL Broadband Connection

Mar 6, 2010

I have installed fedora 12 recently. after installation i tried to connect to the internet using BSNL broadband connection. I filled in the details such as IP, Netmask, Gateway and even DNS servers. In the services also I ensured that the network manager services is on. However even though my computer cannot connect to the internet. I then tried the ping test of the modem from the address 192.168.1.1 and found that the ping test is successful. Then i tried the network administrator and there I noticed something unusual.

There are two options in the devices eth0 and eth1 thats ok but the unusual; thing is that the Activate (green button), Deactivate (red button) and even the delete buttons are in the background and I cannot select them. Isthis the problem for the network connectivity.

Debian Configuration :: Ssh: Could Not Resolve Hostname

Apr 18, 2011

So I recently upgraded from Debian 5 to Debian 6 and now for some reason I cant SSH into my server FROM my server. All of the following fail with the same error:

[URL]

They all come back with: ssh: Could not resolve hostname 127.0.0.1: Name or service not known. I never actually tried this before upgrading so I'm not sure if its caused by the upgrade, but I would like to get this fixed. Also, ping with all of the above hostnames fails as well. I can SSH in from other computers and I can SSH out from the server. For whatever reason, I cant SSH from the server to the server though.

Networking :: Only Firefox Fails To Connect In Some Networks Using Fedora 14?

May 23, 2011

In all but one place my HP Pavilion laptop running Fedora 14 will work flawlessly to use the Internet for e-mail, ftp, http, etc. In one network there is a wireless router - Cisco/Linksys E3000 - that allows every computer to use the Internet normally for wireless or for wired connections, every computer but mine. If I use Google's Chrome I can access the Internet. I can ping any web site too, but the moment I try to access anything with Firefox 3.6.17 there is a long delay and the standard error page appears. Weather or not I use a wired connection is apparently irrelevant.The Windows 7 computers in the same network are free of this curious problem. Strangely I have noted a problem like this, possibly the same problem, with another network at a coffee shop and they both share the misfortune of using AT&T, which is proud to not support Linux ... for customers of course (it's good enough for themselves I'm sure)
