Ubuntu :: Can't Access Certain Sites
Jun 12, 2011
Im having trouble using my wireless usb dongle. I've installed the software and connected to the web, but i can only access a number of websites.
I can access ....., and watch vids and perform searches on google, bing, yahoo and the like. However when i try and access a site that i have searched for it takes me to the internet providers homescreen and tells me to activate my account or top up my account.
I know i have enough GB left as i recently activated my account and i'm able to use the wireless stick on another computer without any problems on all websites. So this leads me to believe that there is maybe a problem with my browser or security settings, but im not sure what to do.

I managed to configure my W890i phone to get access to internet through an ubuntu-based computer. It's very easy to use the phone to give internet access to the computer, but the opposite is quite more tricky. For that I've done the following
----On the phone---
-Set the USB network option to "through computer", so that the phone uses the computer's internet connection and not the opposite.
-Decide and set "Shared Network" parameters: user, pasword and workgroup.
-In "conectivity-> internet connection" set "allow local network" to "yes"
----On Ubuntu 10.04---
-Install samba, samba-client, smbfs, smbclient, firestarter and dhcp3-server
-Configure Samba (System-> Administration-> Shared folders): same workgroup as in the phone, add new user (the phone), passwd this new user. In my case the user was called "w890i" and the password given was the same.
-Once the phone is connected to the computer through USB (then select "phone mode"), a new connection appears in NetworkManager: usb0.The aim is to create a shared network that gives internet access to this device. Edit the IPv4 parameters of this new connection, set them to Manual and give an IP adress (192.168.0.1) and a subnet mask (255.255.255.0); the rest of the fields are left empty.Connect this network.
-Set firestarter to use dhcp3: sudo ln -sf /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server /etc/init.d/dhcpd
-Launch firestarter and follow the wizard. Set "allow internet shared connection", choose the device for the primary internet access, and then the device for the shared network (usb0). Then change the settings for firestarter: activate DHCP for local network, set IP to the one we gave before (192.168.0.1).
-Open dhcp3-server config file sudo gedit /etc/default/dhcp3-server And set INTERFACES="usb0"
-Set the policies of firestarter: in incoming connections, allow connections from the IP adress given to the phone (192.168.0.1). Then add rules for the ports that need to be open for this connection. I opened HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, IMAPS, DHCP for all the connections in the local network.
-Apply policies and start the firewall.
------------
After all this, the phone can access the internet through the computer. Two problems appeared:
1. I couldn't get access to https sites, like webmails. The phone gave a "communication error". But then I tried with Opera instead of the browser built in the phone's firmware, and I could finally get to https sites.
2. I couldn't retrieve mail, neither POP nor IMAP nor IMAPS. I thought it was a firmware problem again, and I tried out several mobile phone email clients written in java, but none of them worked.
So this is at the moment the problem. If I connect from the phone to the internet directly through 3G, the email clients work for all my accounts. I don't think it's a firewall problem, because the ports are opened for this connection

Strangest thing...yesterday my 11.04 box lost the ability to access anything external. I can ssh to the box from outside my network, and all other boxes on my network are fine, but this one box can't hit anything external. If I attempt to ping a site it's doing the same resolution, but no packets are delivered.
Up until yesterday it was running fine, and I didn't make any changes to my home network or install any updates. Totally stumped.
Edit: this is a wired connection with a static internal IP.

Unable to access our site via eth0. Can access the same site, via same ISP on wireless laptop, or via eth0, but using ip annonymizer service. Have a feel that it could be something obvious, but after digging through Modems firmware I am running out of ideas

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 and have wired internet connection.
Some sites (particularly https) take very long time to load . Sometimes I get "Page is taking a long time to load . Reload the page later" message.
Now , this is happening for some http webpages also.
This is not a problem with browser.
I have firefox , chrome , chromium and konqueror installed.
Also I can access all these sites properly from windows so it is not problem with my internet connection either.

I have a question which it believe it is quite simple but I have no clue how to do it... I'm using Fedora 12 and I'm the only Linux machine in my office's LAN... I have Apache (httpd) setup and my co-workers can access the sites perfectly by using my IP address, for example [URL]... So here's the question, how do I setup a domain name so everyone in the LAN can access the sites by typing [URL]..

I'd like to ask a question on installing software.
I cannot install software using "yum" but I can with the GUI program "Add/Remove Software".
For example, I tried:
It will exhaust all the mirror sites without success.
All the error messages look like:
But I can install "screen.i686" easily from the "Add/Remove Software" GUI and it is very fast.
However, what's puzzling is that I could install some certain packages although I still see the same kind of error messages.
For example,
will work. But in general, "yum" is running very slow and is rejected at every mirror sites.
My settings: I just installed "Fedora 14" (Linux 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686) as a virtual machine (using VirtualBox) on a Windows XP (Professional, SP3) host on my laptop (CPU: Intel Core2 Duo), which accesses internet through a HTTP Proxy server since it is behind a corporate firewall.

Is there a modern equivalent of "Expect", which was developed for the UNIX environment to automate access to programs which had been designed to interact only with a human?
Now with many facilities only accessible by HTML and javascript, what solutions are there to access such websites from a Perl script for example?
The need to access interactive systems by automated agents is the same now as when Don Libes originally wrote Expect, described well in his paper to the Summer 1990 Usenix Conference, Expect: Curing Those Uncontrollable Fits of Interaction.
I want my computer to access the web - I don't believe I should have to be chained to it by mouse and keyboard before it can interact with web sites. Surely there are some tools for achieving this. I've searched, but haven't been able to find any. Although I'd like to do it from a Perl script, I'd consider any language: C, PHP, anything.

In the past week or so I've noticed some weird network behaviour. I find accessing some sites such as Amazon, Paypal, and Bigstockphoto really slow. Sometimes the page will not load at all. Other sites are fine. The problem sites are not a problem for others on my LAN at home. When I try to open the problem sites, I can see in Firestarter blocked connections coming from 2.1(8/9).xxx.xxx on various ports such as 36007. This only happens for the problem sites. I attached a typical output from firestarter.
This happens with Firfeox or Chrome. Using Ubuntu 10.10

I dual boot XP and FC14 and have 2 routers. I can connect and ping one of these routers when I'm in FC and I have an IP address I just can't load any websites. When I connect to the other router (my main router) it works fine. When I boot into XP and connect to the problem router I can load pages fine. It's only when I'm on FC14 and connect to the problem router that I can't load pages even though I have an IP and can ping around.

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 32bit on a dual boot (XP) computer. No internet problems in windows, and I am currently typing this post on my wifes HP laptop running 9.10. I have no browsing ability on the desktop running 9.04, and updates don't work (in details, every other line fails) But, I can bring up Google, and search it, pictures and all, but cannot go to different sites (ebay, hotmail, amazon as the first few i try). Also, my pidgin works fine, as I am talking on it now. I have tried to turn off ipv6 in Firefox and ubuntu, neither doing anything noticeable.

After upgrading to 10.04, Firefox sits showing "looking up" as it takes as much as 1 to 5 minutes to find a site and all the different things to load the site. A few sites just pop up as they should, but many take a long time to ever come up...and it is not the site. Sometimes the same site will load quickly and the next time will take for ever to find.
I have a very fast connection, everything worked fast in the old version and in windows. I have went through all the about:config things to speed up Firefox.

Pages do not load on certain sites (such as LinkedIn and Which? for example). The sites themselves load but when I click on links the pages load forever. With Which? I can close FF and open it again and then the link loads but after a few clicks they stop loading. It happens on all browsers (at least I tried FF and Chromium) but OK on Windows.

I'm using a 64-bit machine Ubuntu 9.10, and Firefox 3.5.9 for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100402 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.9) This problem has actually been going on since I started using Ubuntu. Firefox works for most things, but certain sites, many of them are ones you have to log into, but many other sites I log into work just fine. The first one which did not work was bigcharts.com. No login necessary. When I try to get a chart (stock) the page reloads with an error that I have to enter a symbol. On some sites I put in my username and password and the page just seems to reset. These sites work fine with forefox 3.5.9 on Windows Vista, and work with epiphany on Ububtu.

Ive heard so much about linux and while it is great to be back online it is frustrating when certain sites and applications dont work with linux. Why cant linux produce a simple o/s like windows where i can download a file and open it simply without having to type and search.
I dont want to give up on ubuntu but unless i can get freecorder working or the sound recorder to actually record by itself or with audacity and tvu player and andromedanet.com to work hen i will have to, but my question remains- why cant linux be so user friendly to pcnumbnuts like me and others and perform simply and then you would have a real alternative to windows, but until then windows wins all time bye all.

Using 10.4, got the webmin installed and squid. Got my access control list setup.Within the acccess control list setup, I can not go to sites likemethodistmd.org or mollimd.org for whatever reason. But I can go to votekirkland as well as google. Why would webmin and/or squid only work with certain sites within the the defined access control list?

My local server isn't displaying images or proper css for my web pages. The pages display just fine on the webserver, but locally no images show, most of the css declarations aren't there and some of the php includes won't show on the page either. It's as if it's 10% working. All the files are in the right place. I changed directory permissions and tried restarting apache but that didn't help.
