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 2 RepliesI'm having a bit of Internet trouble with a fresh install of Ubuntu Natty and I haven't been able to track down the problem. I have my desktop running over a wireless network, which connects without fail. Somewhat frequently, however, connections to particular websites will start timing out (google, facebook, stackoverflow, us ubuntu archive, etc.). I'm also having a strange issue where my home page [URL] is redirecting to [URL].
Initially I thought it might be an issue with Comcast DNS, so I updated the router to use OpenDns servers. When that didn't work I started to try accessing some of the problematic sites through my laptop (which is using the same router) and they all connect without problem. The issue seems to be with my Ubuntu install, but I'm not sure where to look.
EDIT After doing some further digging, this is starting to look like a DNS issue. My home page appears the resolve to an incorrect ip address when the redirect issue occurs. Still not sure how to track down the problem, however.
I am facing problem with firefox and opera. Even google page request ends up in time out error. But google chrome works absolutely fine.
I use 10.04
I have a complex network. ADSL broadband comes into the house and connects to an Orange Livebox. An Ethernet cable then connects the Livebox to a more powerful router, a DrayTek Vigor 2710Vn. The reason for this is that the Livebox has a second line capability using Voip, but it is not powerful enough to get around my stone house. The DrayTek router has Voip capability, but as yet Orange will not connect the Voip line to it. I connect to this system with Ubuntu. Android, Windows and I-phone. I can connect to either of the routers, though I usually use the DrayTek.
Voip on the Livebox does not require a computer to run it, you just plug a normal phone into it and use it to get free calls. I actually take this line into a Panasonic telephone switch to give me a 2 line system around the house. The problem with this set-up is that after a short time something happens to the network which prevents Ubuntu computers connecting to it. Windows machines, I-phones and Android phones connect, but Ubuntu does not. If I re-boot the Livebox, or in an extreme case take it back to it's factory settings, the Ubuntu machines can connect again, but it's only temporary.
The fact that fixing Livebox sorts the problem definitely points to Ubuntu being innocent, but at the moment I can't do without the Livebox. That means, for the moment, having to stay with Windows. If I post the output log after a failed connection attempt, all it would show is the connection timing out. Why is Ubuntu so sensitive to network problems that are not of it's making. Is there anything I can do about it other than changing my ISP. I am considering that, but other factors make that difficult.
I have setup a box using RHEL-5 inside a private network, no outside connections, and I've got a Symmetricom bc635PCI-V2 clock card installed and working. It's getting GPS time via IRIG-B feeding the PCI card from a TrueTime GPS receiver. I need to setup the NTP software to use the time from the PCI card. Which means I need to setup a /dev/refclock-? symbolic link to the driver as far as I know? I can't find any documentation on the bc635 card that associates the refclock to the driver. Does anyone know what settings I need to use in the server line of the ntp.conf file?

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'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.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my laptop, realtek 8712 wireless chipset. I can connect to the internet, but websites don't load.

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 dual boot my pc wiht Microsoft Window XP(original). The websites which are not opening in ubuntu are easily opening in xp. 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.

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.

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.

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.
