jigarzon Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi ! I m having trouble when browsing with firefox... it shows me this message: "www.***.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again". The curious thing is that Konqueror works ok, and Mozilla (which I uninstalled before installing firefox) too... If I enter an IP address instead of the site name, i have no problems, so i think its the DNS config that is wrong... Thanks for any help!!

sellis Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 You could try to see if ping works: ping www.***.com This also uses DNS. Assuiming you get an IP address automagically, you might also want to look at /var/lib/dhcp. This contains a number of "dhclient-*.leases" files (one for each network interface you have). Here's a lump out of one of mine: lease { interface "wlan0"; fixed-address 192.168.1.100; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 192.168.1.1; option dhcp-lease-time 599940; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 194.168.8.100,194.168.4.100; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.1; renew 4 2005/3/3 15:14:57; rebind 1 2005/3/7 00:01:05; expire 1 2005/3/7 20:50:58; } As you can see, this includes the IP addresses of your domain name servers, which may be useful.

ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 What's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigarzon Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Thanks for your reply... I made a "ping www.yahoo.com" and It worked ok... I also opened the dhclient-eth1.leases file and it has the following content: lease { interface "eth1"; fixed-address 24.232.80.68; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option dhcp-lease-time 12924; option routers 24.232.80.1; option dhcp-message-type 5; option dhcp-server-identifier 24.232.0.69; option domain-name-servers 200.49.156.3,200.49.159.69,200.49.156.4,24.232.0.69; option dhcp-renewal-time 6462; option dhcp-rebinding-time 11308; option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255; option host-name "pentium4"; renew 5 2005/6/3 10:00:38; rebind 5 2005/6/3 11:29:29; expire 5 2005/6/3 11:56:25; } Now I think its not a net configuration problem, but firefoxs..

Qchem Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Long-shot, but you could try switching off IPv6 in firefox: search for ipv6 in about:config and you'll find the correct key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigarzon Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I ve already tried :(:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigarzon Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) I solved it! :D It has nothing to do with net configuration or DNS... I downloaded these libs: - libnspr4-1.0.2-6 - libnss3-1.0.2-6 installed them, restarted firefox and done...!!

Qchem Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thats very odd, are you using a mandrake packaged firefox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
