Are you using a 64Bit or 32bit kernel?

Adding wikipedia's IP (208.80.154.225) to /etc/hosts definitely helps. It seems
to get farther along in loading. However, nothing is actually displayed in the
browser. The problems get stranger and stranger. Either something is wrong with
the browser or there is another server from which data is needed with a
different IP. Viewing the source of the blank page gives me a lot of html but I
can't tell if it's everything or not.Why would simply giving the ip address of
the domain name en.wikipedia.org help at all when ping instantly discovers that
ip whether that line is in /etc/hosts/ or not? Maybe the DNS servers are used
incorrectly somewhere. Using google's DNS servers doesn't appear to change
anything. Also, what could cause this problem to occur for a few specific
websites? How is wikipedia different from google mail or every other website
that loads with no problem?On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 2:07 PM, Bruce Dubbs

issue. ?Try changing /etc/resolv.conf to:nameserver 8.8.4.4nameserver
8.8.8.8Those are Google public nameservers. ?The dhcp client may overwrite
thatso it may not be a permanent fix if it is indeed the problem.You can also
try putting known IP addresses in /etc/hosts.--
