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 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 relatively new to Ubuntu. Currently running Lucid Lynx, but I cannot connect to the internet. I can ping 127.0.0.1, and google.com. Software update works as well, but the connection times out when I try connecting to a web site e.g. bbc.uk.

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 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.
On this box I have Two seperate Ubuntu installations. Recently in both I seem to be having the same problem. I initially can connect to the internet as per normal and use any internet application. But after a period of time, sometimes just minutes, sometimes hours, even though the icon says connected, I cant update pages or send emails etc because there is no actual connection. My Physical connection is good I know - My Ubuntu laptop and Windows gamming PC connect fine during this period. So
Does this suggest an intermittent hardware fault or is there some thing in Ubuntu I can check to make sure that it is setup correctly and nothing has been corrupted? I am a lay PC person - I dont really want to be command prompting - Plug & Play and Point & Click is my limit.
I tried to install Xubuntu 10.10 Maverick as dual boot on my laptop. However when xubuntu is on, I can't find a way to connect to internet. When I try the 2 arrows on the up-right corner the option for wireless is deemed. I tried offline/online, that did not work either. when I click the firefox It says you are not connected.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a dhcp server for my internal network. I have two NICs, a modem, and a wireless router. I have my server connected directly to my modem which is providing me with Internet access on eth1 and is working fine. I have dhcp and dns setup on eth0 which is connected to my router. The router shows that it is connected to the Internet but when the router gives a client computer an IP address, the client is unable to connect to the Internet but can connect to the router. I will post my configuration files below with my current configuration.

I can connect to the internet through wifi, but I cannot connect to anything on my network. I have a printer and a NAS, so I would really like for this to work again. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom card.

However I have VMware (XP) installed and internet/network works on that. I'm a newbie with Linux.
Here are some outputs:
I have tried to edit the connection using System>Preferences>Network Connections. I entered manual settings for IPV4, but whatever i enter there, it doesnt get reflected when i type ifconfig in the terminal window. I tried setting it to Automatic DHCP as well. Doesnt work.

I've recently set up a local development webserver using Karmic Koala. I downloaded and installed the server version of Kubuntu and have the web server working.
The problem is that for some reason, I'm no longer able to connect to the internet. I can connect to my router, and other machines in my network can VNC into the server.
I'm using an wired connection to the router and have the server set up on an internal IP of 192.168.0.100. I used to be able to connect to the internet, I downloaded and installed a load of packages etc before it stopped working.
The last thing I remember doing before it stopped working was that I installed Samba so I could share files with the other machines on the network (two Macs running Leopard and a WinXP laptop).
I got the share working - I copied a load of files to the server via the share, rebooted, and for some reason now I can't connect to the net (and other machines can't see the Samba share either.) However I can still VNC into the server.
I never been able to connect to some websites with DEBIAN, but with same computer different LINUX and Windows, As an example Monash University in Australia is one of them.

The Setup: We have 1x unshaped ADSL connection at 4MBPS (fastest available) that's used for office related things, Skype, General browsing etc. We have another ADSL connection, this time shaped and running at 4MBPS, I want to send all requests to facebook, twitter and downloading sites like fileserve, filesonic, hotfile etc. to the shaped connection. Can iptables be used to do this? The unshaped ADSL router is connected to eth0 and has an IP of 192.168.0.1 the shaped ADSL router is connected to eth2 and has an IP of 10.0.2.1 Local lan is connected to eth1 and has a range of 192.168.1.0/24 Can iptables send a certain webpage (*.facebook.*) to eth2 and other pages (*.google.*) to eth0 ?
When i boot my computer and open ubuntu version 10.04.1 the internet wireless connection i have connected automatically.

After doing this, i refresh the system but it still not connect.

View 9 Replies View RelatedYesterday I helped my neighbor install Ubuntu 9.10 on his PC. This PC had XP with many bad viruses is the reason for the change. This is not a dual boot setup. Strictly Linux. I know the hardware is fine because DSL communications was working at the time of the install.
I've found a few threads describing problems with the Network Manager and DSL. [URL] I'm in kind of a "chicken and the egg" situation. This Linux PC has no internet connection right now and many of these fixes are downloads via the terminal. However, at my house, I have XP running and online. Can I download these fixes and copy to a flash drive and install on his Linux box?
I have a Ubuntu desktop on my LAN that has suddenly stopped accessing the net, this morning it was working nicely. The computer DHCPs an address successfully, and it can access other comps/services on the LAN. Other comp have no trouble accessing the web.I've pinged my gateway, and I get a response, but pinging Google for example gets me a 100% packet loss.I've tried to release and renew the IP using dhclient, I've unplugged and replugged in the cable at both ends (didn't really expect it to work since it can dhcp fine), I've rebooted the switch, the router, and the comp, still I'm getting the same problem. I haven't played with any firewall settings either.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm just using Ubuntu for the first time, and am trying to get everything working on the Live CD before I install it. The only problem that I'm having right now is getting connected to the Internet. I'm trying to connect to my router, but it keeps asking for the WEP Key. I type it in and it pops up again a minute later. It works on Windows, though. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on an old Inspiron 8100 I got from a friend.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to Ubuntu, and have run into problem after problem with networking. The current one: I can't ssh out or connect to the internet, and ping gives a "unknown host" or "network is unreachable". But I can ssh into my computer from others on my network. "route -n" gives 2 entries, neither of which is "default", which from my reading it seems like you need, but I don't know how to remedy that. Is this a DHCP problem?
I'm on a university network, so I doubt it's a problem at their end, but I don't think I changed anything when this suddenly stopped working. On a more meta level, is it normal to run into a different network connection problem every few weeks? I'm not touching anything, I swear! Every linux user I know seems to know ping/ifconfig/route/netstat like the back of their hand, and if it's always like this, it's enough to drive a girl back to windows.
Both ethernet and wireless connections are down, Windows on the same machiene works with both - not hardware problem. Networking is enabled in the applet, but WiFi indicator and ethernet adapter indicator do not flash. Problem appeared after I closed the lid of the laptop at night (set to suspend), but next morning battery was empty indicating that it failed to suspend. I could not find any "hardware manager" inbuilt to turn devices on.
I don't like using Windows, and internet is a necessity.
PS It's Ubuntu 10.4, Gnome on Dell Inspiron 6400 (x86)
I just installed Ubuntu and it won't connect to the internet. I have an HP Pavilion dv4 laptop. On the top of my keyboard area has my power button, volume and wireless switches (they're all touch sensitive). Anyways, when the wireless is on, the light is blue. Whenever I log on to my Ubuntu account, it just has an orange (meaning off) color, and I can't switch it to on (blue). I'm running Vista 64 bit right now.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and it works fine, but will not connect to the internet. My wifi card has a CD with drivers, including one for Linux, but it has no 'install' file. I have ZERO idea how to even get to a command line place in Ubuntu [NOR what I'd do or need to do if I got there!!!!] - and need desperately to get online, for all the obvious reasons and to download all the missing drivers needed for things I do. My wifi card [if it matters is a ASUS 802.11n Wireless LAN Card PCE-N13.When I look at what is in the Linux driver folder is foreign to me as Chinese...so those trying to explain, please realize this is my FIRST Linux install and I don't know the terminology...and lacking internet can look up nothing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am unable to connect to the internet through DSL. I can use it in Windows 7 easily. I use a Broadband PPPoe with an user name and password along with a service name. I have set up a DSL in ubuntu and I have placed the required user name and password there and I have also entered the service name in the field between the username and password. But it shows to be disconnected every time i try to dial the connection.
I have also tried with the "sudo ppoeconf" command and "setpppoe 1.0 software" and failed.

I had a computer with windows xp totally get wasted and I decided to do a clean install with ubuntu 8.04 and update to the newer version, however I cannot get the internet to connect (wired), I've tried figuring out of there is a driver problem but was not able to figure it out.
