unable to access certain websites
Hello Members:
My FC2 machine is behind the nat. I can browse the internet fine,but I can't login to yahoo or hotmail or access any other ftp server. Is the problem on the server side or with some configuration on my machine. I browsed google with no luck. I appreciate your feedback. Regards; |
u cannot browser yahoo or google or hotmail
then what site can u access?? is it that u can only browse yahoo.com but not login ?? regards |
yes, i could browse yahho, but can't login
Regards; |
are u sure that you are using nat and have allowed all ports ?
i suspect that port 443 is blocked as this is required for https which is required for yahoo to login regards |
i am thinking also that's the case. i tried several ftp and http servers and i can't access them. my internet access is from a small isp and i have to check with him i guess.
regards; |
if u are facing problem with some http sites instead of only https then there might be a problem with your DNS server also
why don't u try running ur own caching name serever regards |
i am blocked from all ftp sites.
> why don't u try running ur own caching name serever how would that solve the problem and how can i do that? regards; |
have a look at /etc/named.conf
there are a few options of setting up a caching only name server by default u need not change anything do not use any forwarder there then put the ipaddress 127.0.0.1 in ur /etc/resolv.conf and then try using the internet also the bind service should be running service named restart or service bind restart regards |
i added 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf and still can't login to yahoo.
I had " bind: unrecognized service" when i tried "service bind restart" any more suggestions? regards; |
then u need to install bind or caching-nameserver package whichever is the package required
in FC2 u can have a look at add-remove programs and then install the DNS server packages regards |
