Hello all,
I have a problem in Fedora Linux. I am able to browse the internet
(cable connection) by typing the IP address in the address bar. But
when I use names, web pages are not loading. I think it is a DNS
problem. When I reboot into windows, internet is working fine. So I
have come to the conclusion that the problem is on my machine.
I checked the following things:
restarted network.
# service network restart
eth0 came up but took some time (around 1 minute)
turned off firewall and tried internet (no luck)
checked the /etc/resolv.conf file . It contains the following lines
(auto genetated by the dhcp script)
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
search localhost
checked the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file
It does not contain the line 'PEERDNS=no'
Do I have to add the above line ?
I really don't know what else to look.
I was browsing the net earlier today without any problem in linux. But
later, I compiled kernel 2.6.14 from source though I didn't install
it. These are the commands I executed:
# make menuconfig
# make bzImage
# make modules
... the 'make modules' did not complete because it filled all the
available space on my partition. So I did a 'make clean' and saved
some space.
But after that I encountered this internet problem. Maybe kernel
compilation has nothing to do with this.
My ifconfig command output is as follows:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:A4:C2:84
inet addr:202.80.07.192 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.252.0

I have changed the IP address above to display it here. Anybody have
ideas what could be the problem? Is it possible to restrict a IP
address at the ISP side depending on the OS being run on the machine?
Though I wonder why they would do that.
Another thing, I just tried the command 'lsmod' to check which modules
are loaded. And I found ipv6 module. I tried unloading it by
# rmmod ipv6
...but I got the message that it is used by some program. We are using
IPv4 no ? So is this the problem ?
Any help is most welcome.
Thanks in advance
Ravi
