Installed Fedora 10 with Mozilla-Firefox, I can get out on the internet by pinging outside IP's but Firefox browser returns cannot locate www. does anyone know what package I need so browser connects.
View 7 Repliesafter few years being limited with my pc configuration (windows OS) I realized that linux or it's distributions is the best invention in 21 century. And finally I am starting use it. openSUSE 11.4 installaition succesful, I updated it and it looks I don;t have any problems, but I got few questions.
1. How install older version of mozilla firefox internet browser here? I can't install some plugins because it's a firefox beta 12 version, for example. I am quake fan, o I like play quake live, but i can't install quake plugin, because my firefox is beta version.
2. Does I got all drivers instantly installed to my mashine? ATI video drivers, sound drivers ect??
3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?
Just installed the latest 11.04 64bit ubuntu, using std cd install alongside windows7, ticking the "add all extras" option, to ensure I got all the latest drivers etc.. The pc is brand new

Pre-installed: 64bit Win 7 home premium I've literally changed nothing in win7 other than using wubi to install ubuntu 1st time around (ubuntu appears as a win program - and was un-installed as such). Note: It is too late to now check, but......... under wubi/win7 I had no sense that the browser firefox was running slow - i didn't do a speedtest.net cos of other priorities (and it seemed fine). On advice, I started again (new partitions etc). The Problem: Ubuntu is now 25% slower (broadband) than Win7! Actually, it feels worse than that - more like it was on my previous lap top that had 512Mb ram running xp. Here are the results after switching os's a couple of times.
[Code]....
Firefox managed one spurious result of 5.89, but the graph (on the speedtest display) was absolutely all over the shop (like it's overall results). Compare that to iExplorer - total stability, and in fact, more like 30% faster + a much better ping. Anyway, I guess you know all this, I've seen that plenty of others have noticed this speed drop in the past, so:
What is the quickest and the most elegant way to implement the following scheme:On my computer I have two browsers and two internet channels:
1. Ethernet cable internet
2. USB 3g modem/.
When I execute the first browser it uses only the cable internet and the second one uses the USB modem.
All of a sudden, none of the applications are able to connect to the internet, except the web browser. I use Google Chrome and sometimes Mozilla firefox.
There is a network proxy and I did apply the network proxy setting system wide.
Applications like Dropbox, Messenger etc stopped connecting to internet which were working very well until yesterday.
Ive recently installed lubuntu 10.04 on an old sony vaio. ive been able to connect to the internet (satellite broadband) for a few months then no connection. the connection is fine so its definatly the network on the vaio. ive tried pinging to no avail.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter I've setup the ubuntu 9.10 I've found that the internet connection working incorrectly. I can ping or even connect to the internet sites with the telnet and see the raw html pages, but when I ran the software center or mozilla I have timeout error message. As a proxy settings I've setup the direct connection in both system and mozilla proxy configurations but it takes no reason. If I put the IP address instead of the domain name in the address bar of the mozilla browser then its loaded the web page correctly. It looks like this problem is relative to some system configuration of X about network (cause telnet google.com 80 working right). I'm using the dhcp connection to the D-Link DSL-504T router.

I was doing some one-handed-one-fingered typing while talking on the phone. Due to lack of paying attention, I executed the following command: ifconfig eth0 1300 (was meant to be ifconfig eth0 mtu 1300) this of course killed the connection, so I got the box rebooted. This box functions as an openswan/firewall server. everything came up okay, end users are reporting no problems with the vpn or the firewall function. However, one service is failing because the route to localhost seems to be originating from eth0. when I `ping localhost`, the traffic dump shows the ping packet originating from the external address. On all my other boxes, when I ping localhost, the traffic originates from localhost. The reply to my ping behaves normally.
here is a dump of my pinging localhost: fw-ps:~/scripts# tcpdump -n -i lo listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 10:00:01.885033 IP 194.246.23.22 > 127.0.0.1: ICMP echo request, id 6893, seq 12, length 64 10:00:01.885068 IP 127.0.0.1 > 127.0.0.1: ICMP echo reply, id 6893, seq 12, length 64
I considered trying to manually add some routes, but since the reply is working, I am not sure that is the problem. I also considered trying to change the default interface, but I don't want external traffic originating from the loopback.
I am unable to run firefox on my Hp mini 110 running FC14. This happened, I think, after an update that I have done.
When ever I run firefox I get the following messages.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI had a router crap out yesterday. I'd been testing out a new one for the last few days and just reconfigured it to be the main. Took the old one down and everything in my house (Windows 7 PC, XP Files server, Ubuntu PC , windows 7 laptop, android tablet, ps3, etc) seems to be working fine whether it be hard wired or wifi. All except my ubuntu 10.04 laptop. It worked fine before the swap so I can't figure out what's going on.
I'm able to connect to the new SSID without issue but I can't resolve any external names and when I try to ping the default gate way every other packet has (DUP!) behind it. If I'm hardwired I don't get the dup! when pinging the default gateway but I still can't resolve any external names. I have provided the results of an ifconfig and the results of a ping to the default gateway below.

I have an HP BL460c G5 with 5.3 installed fresh
it can ping its own IP address just fine
its a bit slow but constant pinging the switch its connected to
and i get alot of Destination host unreachables(a few do get through) when pinging the gateway
port on the switch is hardcoded to GB/full. and the server itself reads that its connecting at GB/full.
I'm using kubuntu 9.10 desktop edition as a server and I set the IP statically, what happens is that when I ping it from another machine on the same network, I get intermittent packet loss (up to 80% and sometimes even higher). When I ping any other machine on the local network everything's fine with 0% packet loss. Packets go directly through switch, no router or anything in between.
I suspected wiring issues, but that doesn't seem to be the problem after I changed the wiring. I was connected to wireless and suspected that but no go either. Same thing when I turn wired. I just changed the ethernet card suspecting drivers but that's no good either. Iptables is a cleanslate installation, it's totally empty.
I have two network interfaces and their entries are shown as eth0 and eth1... I want to assign them static IPs which I do by
ifconfig eth0 192.168.9.245 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
ifconfig eth1 192.168.8.245 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
But I am not sure if it will ping both the interfaces if I issue a command
ping -I eth0 192.168.9.113 (machine in network)
ping -I eth1 192.168.9.113 (machine in network)
I am getting pings from eth0 but not from eth1
i just updated from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 using the online upgrade option. so far everything is working great. the only issues i am having seem to involve firefox. when i visit videos i get the message "your browser is no longer supported. please upgrade to a modern browser." i am running 3.6 "canonical" so it is "modern". i am able to watch videos after i close the message. it's just an annoyance to get this message every time i view a video.
next, is on some websites (like this one) it will not supply my login info. but on a few sites (like ebay) it does supply my login info. not sure why some sites work while others don't. the info is there when i look under my saved passwords....
So I've been reading around a bit, and have found a few fixes for this Resolving Hosts problem, but none of them have fixed mine yet. Basically what happens is all browsers fail to load pages, pinging local network works, but pinging default gateway doesn't. Cannot ping external websites and cannot reach update or upgrade servers for ubuntu. All networking works as normal on all other PCs in house, as well as the windows 7 boot I have on my ubuntu PC.
What I've tried:Disabled IPv6 completely by preventing the module from booting up Manually setting network settings instead of using the router's DHCP server Changing DNS servers from ISP to Google public DNS to OpenDNS Buying a new ethernet card And a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head, none of which worked. From memory, all this just started happening out of the blue. I recently changed from Windows to Ubuntu, and was enjoying the switch but all of a sudden I couldn't get on the internet on Ubuntu.
Now, I'm not sure why, but I decided to ping myself. Not my LAN ip, but our router's WAN ip. It worked, albeit took a little while to return a response the first packet, but each subsequent packet after that was a normal speed (~0.5ms). The strange thing about this was that I found that for a few seconds after pinging myself, I could access the internet. After a few seconds though, it returns to it's resolving hosts self again, which another self-ping would fix.
Consequently, in order to browse, I have an open terminal constantly pinging myself which appears to be working. Not ideal, and certainly not something I would like to keep doing for long, but it works for now. I really like Ubuntu, but if I can't get this net thing fixed, I can't finish moving over from Windows!
I'm running wicd 1.7.0 on Kubuntu 10.04, with an Actiontec DSL wireless router (with an internal dd-wrt "bridged" router as well;Any idea what "magic" those lines are performing and if it's possible to make wicd do it all the time (instead of just the third time)?Very happy to pursue any debugging if anyone has any ideas, as it's pretty annoying to have to wait an extra couple minutes on every boot until connecting.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have three computers at home. I have the only one running Linux, the other two are running Windows XP and using Belkin Wireless G USB Adapters. I started using Linux around November, and used a powerline ethernet cable. (It consists of two parts. One part you plug into your router and the power socket beside it, and the other you plug into your computer and the power socket beside that. It then uses the power lines as a network, and acts like a normal ethernet cable. I used the 'Auto eth0' connection without much problem). Back then, my internet would stop working once every few hours but only for firefox. Other programs such as bittorrent and Spotify continued working.
However, since I got back from holiday a few days ago the situation's worse. The internet regularly pauses (every few minutes, including spotify and msn) for about 30 seconds, and then comes back. Downloads are not cancelled, as they are when I am disconnecting from the internet, they merely seem to pause. The other two computers in our house don't have this problem, and I have tried the wireless adapter, yet it seems to pause at the same times as the wired connection. I know that it too used to work back in November.
I have just installed OpenSuse in a brand new desktop. I have got no problem at the installation process.

I had installed Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday. When I see the network tab, it shows it is connected to the web via eth0. I could download all the packages for updates.But when I try to connect to internet via Firefox, or by evolution or other software,I am unable to connect.The configuration of the ethernet card is proper as I checked that via terminal window.It is a peculiar problem, where I can download update pakages but unable to connect via browser or email client.when I ping to ubuntu.com is shows it is healthy and successful.I have a Acer dual core laptop, and connect to internet via wired lan .
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just loaded Ubuntu 11.04 onto Acer Aspire 5100 computer. I can access the internet through Firefox when I connect ethernet lan cable but it doesn't work when I use wireless connection. Although I do get the indicator in top right that says my wireless connection was established. Why I can't access internet with Firefox in wireless mode? I tried toggling the wireless switch in front of Acer but that didn't work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am coming from Windows XP Pro, on the same machine (and where I am writing this post from) so the internet clearly works on XP. On F13, the eth0 connection is activated and the drivers for the NIC chip were installed with the OS. The NIC is Intel Pro/100 VE. The problem that occurs is that the system updater (in GNOME) can access the internet, and installed a bunch of updates after installing the OS. I know it can get to the internet because the updates worked and in the System Monitor, I can see both uploading and downloading occurring during the updates. Now the problem is that when I open FF, I can't seem to get to pages, and I get the usual FF error (pic -- [URL]). However, I CAN get to [URL] as well as [URL] , but I cannot access several other subdomains on fedoraproject.org . I also cannot get to any other page online, ([URL] for example).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a machine (lets called it machine 1) with two networks card, eth0 and eth1. Both have static IPs. Once in a while the machine refuses to give access to the Internet via Firefox (eth0 is the route to router). Other machines on the network have no problems accessing the Internet. Eventually the machine would just magically start working again, but this time it just seems to have stayed broken. I've done some simple diagnostics and found:
a) I have another machine running Apache with a Wiki on our network - [URL]. Machine 1 is unable to connect to this Wiki. I get 'the connection has timed out'. I can ping 192.168.1.73 and it responds in the usual fashion.
b) If I try to ping www.google.com it times out with: ping: unknown host www.google.com. I can ping google using its IP address.
c) On machine 1 I have tried traceroute on both www.google.com and its IP and I just get:
1 * * *
2 * * *
And so on until hop 30. Doing this on any other machine on the network works. So while it seems I can ping internally in our network and outside, but when it attempts anything traceroute or URL related it does not work.
I know this is not a win-doze forum but i always ask my questions here so here goes.I am having what appears to be a DNS problem on a friends laptop. He is running windows XP. I CAN connect to networks and even ping websites but i CANNOT browse in Internet Explorer or FIrefox.
