Frustrated with mozilla timing out

[joelscot]

I am using FC2 on an smp system. Mozilla times out when connecting to any website when the address is in the form "http://www.google.com". Mozilla works fine (or appears to) when the form is "http://64.233.167.104".

My network setup is this: four computers (RH9, FC2, and 2 windoze) connected to a router/bridge (192.168.1.1) with DHCP server. The address pool for the DHCP clients start at 192.168.1.100. The router's WAN connection is to a DSL modem (192.168.0.1)

The output from the "route" command is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


Note: there is a pause of about 15 seconds between the 127.0.0.0 line
displaying and default line displaying.


I originally thought the problem was with mozilla and name lookup, but "ping www.google.com" works as does "telnet isua.iastate.edu".

I also did some ethernet captures with ethereal. The first capture was with mozilla -> http://www.google.com. The second capture was "telnet isua.iastate.edu" I am not sure how to interpret these captures as I am not very literate on this subject. I am not sure how to post these files to this forum but I could email them to any interested parties.

what are your firewall setting....are you allowing traffic in your eth0 device?

[joelscot]

The FC2 firewall is disabled. The firewall in the router treats all computers on the LAN the same. Besides, mozilla worked fine prior to upgrade from RH9 -> FC2.

I hope someone can answer this I am having the same trouble with similar settings with fc2, except I use opera. I have posted a query similar to this in the redhat forum entitled "slow, slow, slow internet with fedora " or something along those lines, there is a posted reply but I have not tried it out yet, I will after work and post back here and there with the results,

good luck, we both need it!!!!!
