Guest rubimon Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 This one is weird. I've successfully loaded (well, successful for the most part) Mandrake 10.1. I'm having problems surfing the net. I can communicate with the router (DSL), and can see other computers in my LAN. I can ping external websites, with ms return times. But, I can't routinely download web pages. *Sometimes* it works for the first attempt after starting the browser, and one time I actually got two pages. But then, nothing--it times out after a long time. This occurs using both my eth0 ethernet card and my wlan0 wireless card. Both work under the windows setup on the same computer. Ideas?

Guest rubimon Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 For the record, I'm going to try the suggestions at: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~showerail/simple_net_setup.html I'll post something on those results later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 (edited) install 2.4.27 kernel. there are still some bugs in the 2.6 kernel that affect some routers (e.g. d-link). the kernel.org team is trying to fix this.

Guest rubimon Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 The suggestions in the URL above seem to have worked after a hard reboot. Time will tell if that is stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest j051034 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi I have a similar problem. I am unable to view web pages (http). I have followed the above instructions but still have the problem. It is a fresh install of 2007 Spring and set up as a dual boot with Windows. I have IPTABLES disabled and the following network configuration; [root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:31:71:03:46 inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::217:31ff:fe71:346/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:234 errors:213 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:213 TX packets:392 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:26322 (25.7 KiB) TX bytes:50907 (49.7 KiB) Interrupt:21 Base address:0xdead lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:16363 (15.9 KiB) TX bytes:16363 (15.9 KiB) [root@localhost ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The odd thing is that I can; FTP from CLI and browser to sites Can resolve DNS Can ping Internet addresses and names So from what I can tell I have network connectivity just cannot view HTTP pages. Thanks for any help Regards Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Whats the network card? It isn't a realtek 8139 by any chance is it? If so, suggest you disable IPV6 by editing /etc/modprobe.conf and adding: alias net-pf-10 off and reboot your system. If it's still failing, and you're using Firefox, then in the address bar, type: about:config then filter by ipv6 and then set it to true to disable IPV6 in firefox.

Guest j051034 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Ian, The NIC is a SiS191 (Silicon Integrated Systems). IPv6 has already been disbaled. Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
