Mozilla suddenly not resolving addresses

moger · 08-20-2003, 12:06 AM

This is the weirdest thing... Out of nowhere I can't browser any website in Mozilla unless I use the dotted IP address. It pops up an alert saying "www.url.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again." DNS issue? Nope, because DNS works fine on my other windows machines, plus on that Linux machine I can retreive email using the complete hostnames AND I can ping urls like www.yahoo.com just fine (can also ping the DNS servers). So it's JUST mozilla not resolving URLs. What could have happened?

Don't ping when you test DNS, ping goes to /etc/hosts first... ;o)

Have you tried to restart Mozilla?

Can you do a nslookup www.aftonbladet.se (swedish site since it most probably isn't in your cashe...)

Of course I restarted it. Still does that. And yes, nslookup works fine. DNS is fine, it's just mozilla for some odd reason. Any other ideas?

Reinstall mozilla?
