Hallo,
I have been experiencing a problem with reaching some websites. Example:
I can not reach http://en.wikipedia.org.
This won't fix it, but might help with the diagnosis.
en.wikipedia.org resolves to 91.198.174.192
Not everywhere in the world....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ host en.wikipedia.org
en.wikipedia.org has address 198.35.26.96
en.wikipedia.org has IPv6 address 2620:0:863:ed1a::1
Try to ping this:
$ping -c4 91.198.174.192
If this works try to access the page using this ip address, i,e, put
http://91.198.174.192 as the address you want to go to into your
browser.
If this works it shows the problem is with the nameserver you are using.
Cheers
Steve
Ed and Steve: thanks to your input I found the culprit. I was indeed
able to find the site through IPV4 IP address, but not through the name.
So I disabled IPV6 using the command from Ed, and low and behold: there
is it was, case solved.
However, what baffles me is why ipv4 and ipv6 can be active from Windows
and work, while from linux I have to disable ipv6! Both machines work
from the same network / subnet and reach the internet through the same
router (fritz.box) and use the same dns.
One of the supporters of my ISP suggested I clean the dns cache. Would
any of you know how to do this from Fedora? And whether it would help?
Kind regards, Guus.
