I can only browse to google.com

[timktaylor]

This is too weird not to have a simple answer.

I have a new installation. When I initially started my firefox it tried to load fedoraproject.org. It just hung. So, I tried good old www.google.com. Worked great. Fast load and everything. I can even enter search criteria and bam! I get results.

However, if I click on any of the results returned by google, they all hang (just like the start.fedora.org page). I downloaded and installed Opera. Same behavior. Google is the only site that I can use on this new install!!!

I am on my home network where I run a cable modem into a wireless router. From the router I have five other systems (Windows) running fine either using ethernet or wireless. My fedora box is connected via ethernet. All boxes get their IP from DHCP (including the fedora system)

I can ping my router, my local host IP's, and yahoo.com, fedoraproject.org, etc. but can only reach google with a browser.

Any ideas?

Hi timktaylor,

check router settings; also try to disable SELinux and Fedora firewall.

[timktaylor]

I have disabled SELinux and the Firewall.

Rather than hanging, I get an immediate Network problem page.

Also, only the main google page works. That is, it doesn't search at all now.

Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

I'm unsure about opera but firefox, by default, looks to network manager to determine it's status (online or offline). Google may just be loading out of cache. Does network manager or network services control your ethernet card?

Also, in firefox, click on 'file' from the menu, is 'work offline' checked?

[timktaylor]

Ok so now I have found that I can hit ibm.com and blackberry.com, along with google.com.

Still a mystery.

[timktaylor]

No, it is not checked.

There goes the easy one. Try disabling ipv6.

edit: Don't swet the hoastname, I doubt you're running samba anyway.

[timktaylor]

I just noticed that my router shows the IP address assigned to my fedora machine but it shows no hostname.

How do I make it pick up the hostname correctly?

Could this be related?

[timktaylor]

I did that already. I found that recommended for a similar problem someone else was/is having.

Double check just for giggles. It's uncheck in system-config-network like below?

At the terminal, paste the output of; modprobe -l ipv*

[timktaylor]

The modprobe result is:

kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko

The only difference in the image and my system-config-network is that I have also checked "Activate device when computer starts"

crap. it beats me. the module being loaded only means it's loaded. As long it's unchecked, then it shouldn't be enabled. You can confirm it by jumping to the terminal and 'ifconfig'. If "inet6 addr:" doesn't pop up, then you've ruled out ipv6 three ways of sunday.

Both opera and firefox not working hints dns. Try typing this into the address line, http://209.132.177.50.

[timktaylor]

You got that right Beaker. Red Hat came up.

I should have tried that before.

Of course, now the question becomes "what is wrong with my Fedora resolver?"

All of my other systems use DNS through my cable modem.

[beaker_]

your dns entries get dumped into /etc/resolv.conf and I know network manager will blow your entries away if you have multiple connections, eth0 on network services, wlan by network manager as an example.

At the terminal, paste the output of:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

[timktaylor]

This was actually one of the first things I looked at. I didn't see anything wrong.
