Guest Norm_Mck Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi All, I can connect my laptop running mdk9.1 to my lan at work which is bassically a bunch of pc's connected ta win 2k server. I can connect using dhcp and share files with Samba, I can even resolve domain names using ns lookup so the DNS looks ok. When I try to connect to google.co.uk through Mozilla I get "connection refuse" Thanks norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 try google.com is google.co.uk the only website you have trouble with? can you visit other websites? it may not be a problem with your system, but rather a problem somewhere else...(just thoughts).

Guest Norm_Mck Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 No I have trouble with all sites, google.co.uk was just an example, somtimes it works when others don't because it has been cached which suggests a problem with the dns servers but not in this case.

Guest Ptaieb Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 could it be a firewall problem ? I have the same problem, using a mdk9.1, I can ping by IP, nslookup DNS servers, dig www.yahoo.co.uk, but if I try to ping www.yahoo.co.uk I have host unknow, someone suggest that the port 53 (DNS) should be open but I removed all firewall on this client and still have the problem, I have like you other system (even another mdk9.1) on the same subnet, and only this one has a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Norm_Mck Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I have the same problem only my error message is network unreachalble. I suspect that mandrake control centre is not setting up my default gateway properly, any body know how I can check this? when I try 'route' I get 10.15.43.0 when the default gatewayy should be 10.15.43.10!

Guest Ptaieb Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 in /etc/sysconfig, there is a bunch of files about network, I am not sure it is a good idea to change those files by hand, but probably a backup of the files first the file network has some info about the gateway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Norm_Mck Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Cheers, I'll have a poke around and see what I can find. Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
