There's a handful of forums that waste a lot of my time, so I added them to /etc/hosts with a redirect to localhost. But it's so easy to edit that file and in a moment of weakness remove the entries.
Code: sudo vim /etc/hosts gg12wD then shift+ZZ How can I block myself from some websites so it's extremely difficult or impossible to unblock myself?
I want to block all websites except desired websites.
View 3 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 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been an Ubuntu user since Jaunty, and i gotta say, i'm really impressed, especially with the great Karmic! However, ever since my first ubuntu installation, i've had a very awkward problem: My internet does not open any of the following websites:
Rapidshare
Megaupload
Urbandictionary
I don't know if there are other websites I wouldn't be able to access, but those are the main ones i use frequently, now here's what I tried so far (nothing worked):
1- Use a different browser (none of firefox, opera or konqueror worked)
2- Edit the etc/hosts file
3- add a line in the etc/hosts.allow file
It seems so stupid to have to power on a virtual machine to download a rapidshare file!
I don't think I changed anything in my system's configuration, but I wasn't able to access most of the websites. Some loaded perfectly, but for a vast majority of them, Firefox (And every other GUI browser - I tested Opera and Chromium) just showed me a never-ending loading screen. At first I thought it was my ISP, but on the same computer when I booted up Windows XP, everything worked fine.
I then booted Ubuntu back and tried pinging the nonaccesible domains - and they all work! Even weirded - for some of the domains the page's title gets loaded, and nothing more - even in something like 30 mins time. For some, I just get "Loading..." message. And some, as said earlier, work just fine. But I can ping all of them. I wanted to ask You about that issue, but ubuntuforums.org didn't even load. I then tried to use CLI browser links and it works just fine for all my sites and here I am, writing this topic from CLI mode in Terminal.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is sorta a strange problem as it also happened in Windows Vista as well, one of the reasons I tried out Linux was to fix this problem (then fell in love with it and didn't go back).
Anyway, problem is that when ever I start downloading a torrent, no matter what speed the file is downloading at - fast or slow, as soon as I open a browser and then load a website it's like my internet connection has died. "Chrome was unable to find the website" "Firefox could not load this site" ect ect.
The torrents will still keep downloading/uploading, instant messages programs still work, but websites will not load.
I have got my bsnl broadband few weeks ago. It is running nicely on my ubuntu lucid desktop. But form past few days I'm unable to browse some of my websites from ubuntu.

I have changed the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and also my MTU to 1452 but nothing is happening.

I've had a small amount of linux experience and even studied UNIX a few years ago - unfortunately, to paraphrase Homer Simpson, "as something new enters my brain something old has to leave". In this case nearly everything I learned about UNIX
Anyhow, ms problem is this. I've installed 11.2 with KDE desktop. Using either Firefox or Konqueror browsers, I am finding it impossible to display any webpages, other than Google. All google websites, such as gmail, calendar and searches work perfectly. Unfortunately, I can't directly enter a url into the address bar nor can I link from a google search.

I need to setup a box to monitor what websites users are accessing on a small network.I don't have a switch with a spam port, but I do have a machine with two nic cards.

recently I have bought a new wireless router and now I have problems connecting to some (secure) websites. I can't login to gmail and facebook while I am still able to connect to these sites using my old router. I have also tryed to connect to these sites using my new router on windows and it worked with no problem.It is really strange for me, although I don't know that much about networking. I am using Fedora 13 and a TP-Link (TD-W8901G) Wireless router and I have these problems using both wired, and wireless connections with this router.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of setting up my own Linux gateway/firewall using two nics eth0(external network) and eth1(internal network). The Linux gateway hands out ip addresses using dhcp3-server, and uses iptables to route the traffic correctly. Clients are able to connect and access the internet...everything is working great, HOWEVER I can't access my apache virtual hosts websites from the internal network? They work just fine if i access them from the outside world
I can type ip of the web server, 192.168.0.201 and it shows the first virtual host listed in my /sites-enables/000-default folder. but i can't use any DNS entries. I don't have any internal DNS servers running. This doesn't makes sense, because if i replace the linux firewall/router with my normal linksys wrt54G router it works just fine.
Starting today I cannot log into [URL] on Linux. Whenever I try to login, it just takes forever and then either Chrome or Firefox tell me that perhaps the site no longer exists. It works perfectly fine on Windows. Strangely it also does not work on my Roku box and is working sporadically on my PS3. I would think it was my ISP or my router if it wasn't working perfectly fine on Windows.
I AM NOT TRYING TO WATCH NETFLIX ON LINUX. I know that doesn't work. I'm just trying to update my queue. I'm having this problem both on Fedora and Ubuntu (latest stable releases on both). I know it's not just loading from cache on my Windows machine because I'm going to pages that I have never been to and it's working just fine. Now, I have not tried signing out and in because then I'll be up a creak. OK, I installed another browser on my Windows computer and I'm able to sign into Netflix just fine. So it's not a sign-in issue.
WHY DOES THIS WORK ON WINDOWS? It's the same browsers - Chrome and Firefox on Linux and Windows and the same network.
ALSO, flickr is not working correctly - I cannot make any comments in the discussions (but can on photos which is ajax-y).
update: also checked a Linux computer using Linux Mint that hasn't been turned on in 2 months. I know it was able to access Netflix back then. Nothing has been changed - not even updates. It also cannot access Netflix. Either taking forever to load [URL] or when trying to login.
via looking in Konqueror, I saw it's trying to go [URL] and that's what makes it so that I cannot connect to [URL] if it considers me to be signed in. And here's what Konqueror said:

I'm having a weird problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
First some specs:
F13
NetworkManager Applet 0.8.3.998
Driver r8169
Opera 11 and Firefox 3.6.16
Recently my ISP switched to PPPoEand since then my internet connection has been giving me problems. While browsing, some websites load fine, some websites load fine after I refresh once or twice, some load really slowly and the formatting tends to be messed up and some websites won't load at all (they stop at waiting for website...). Ping for all of these sites is however fine. Also uploading and downloading either from sites like rapidshare or using torrents is also fine. The same ISP also provides a second similar connection which is connected through a wireless router (mine is connected directly - no modem or router) to two computers (one via a wired connection and one through wireless) both running Win 7 and everything works fine over there.
Things I've tried. I tried using the router changing it's setting to my connection and connecting through that but the problem remains. After googling I thought it might be an MTU issue so tried this:
[Code]...
My internet connection is pretty fast, but the initial connection to websites take about 4-10 seconds. Sometimes I even get a "connection timed out" error. Once and if the connection is made, the website loads up pretty quickly. I have no problems with internet speed otherwise as I get pretty good speeds for downloads and torrents.
Chrome shows "sending request" and Firefox shows "looking up" during this period of apparent inactivity.
It is not a DNS problem as I have switched DNS from my default to the OpenDNS servers. Besides, everything works fine on Windows with either DNS setup.
I have also tried switching off ipv6 by adding "alias net-pf-10 off" in modprobe.conf. I even switched off ipv6 in Firefox in about:config to no avail.
Oddly, wget seems to work fast and normally. And nslookup returns results almost instantly.
I am on Arch linux with a Broadcom wireless card.
First off, since this seems like a networking issue I put it here, but if it should be somewhere else, the powers that be should definitely move it over.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 on Dell Presario M2000 I have made sure that all updates have been done.
As the subject states, the admin account (mine which I'm posting to the forum with right now) can access the internet and see webpages. The user account on this laptop (my underaged sister who my parents don't want full access to the computer) will not access any webpages, it just continually looks like its loading.
I have made sure the wireless card drivers are installed and activated.
Also, I ran iwconfig and ifconfig and here are their results
p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Results of iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"myqwest4137"
[Code]....
These were both run from the user account. At this point it looks like its connecting to the internet through the wireless card as I was also able to run the update manager through the user account and have it download the updates (after putting in my admin password of course).
Problem:Your company network has internal only hosts / websites with names that end in .local, e.g.Your freshly installed Ubuntu machine works fine on the network, has internet access, etc. but cannot connect to these particular systems.Testing DNS with tools like dig / nslookup works fine, but normal name resolution with ping / telnet / browsers does not work.Solution:1. 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
