/etc/resolv.conf has DNS advertised by my ppp connection. That's why nslookup or ping is working with url. But somehow firefox is not able to translate or use those. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Cox [mailto:theatre@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 11:50 AM To: Community support for Fedora users Cc: Souvik Roy (WT01 - Technology) Subject: Re: firefox not working with net connection through wireless modem On Mon, 03 Jan 2011 11:37:16 +0530 souvik.roy@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > My system is getting an IP on ppp0 and icon on desktop top is showing > that network manager has detected it. It sounds like you're not getting a DNS server address. Without being able to connect to a DNS server your computer can't translate a website name like www.example.com to an IP address like 127.0.0.1. cat /etc/resolv.conf If you don't see any addresses or if you see invalid addresses, then you have found your problem. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
