hi,

I'm running Debian Lenny on a Dell Latitude E6400.

Yesterday I was not able to reach the internet as a whole, but after configuring about:config in the mozilla and setting ipv6 to false this was fixed.

Now I would be very much happy if I was able to reach the web using all other networking apps I have/need (such as synaptic, pidgin etc.)

I've read a huge amount of threads and articles about how to disable ipv6 on Lenny, and non of the following helped:

1 - adding:
# alias net-pf-10 ipv6
alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
to:
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases
result - no good


2 - adding:
#disable IPv6
blacklist ipv6

to:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
result - no good


3 - adding:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
to:
/etc/modprobe.d/00local
result - no good


an ideas?
I really need the internet to work, and I'm kinda clueless as to what to do next...

Can you issue the following commands and paste your results:
ping google.com
traceroute google.com
ping 209.85.225.99
wget google.com(you can remove the file)
sudo /sbin/ifconfig

I've never disabled IPv6 and I have no problems accessing Internet sites, so I'm not sure this is your only problem, if it is a problem at all.

Did you try stopping and restarting networking after making these changes?

OK hmmm looks like its an issue with port 80 not working. Are you with in a firewall ? ICMP traffic is getting through and reaching the Internet. Are you running NAT? Can any other machines in your network reach the Internet?

I have a windows xp machine which connects to the internet with no problem.
This laptop has Windows Vista installed and it has no problem with the internet as well.

and I must add, I AM capable of browsing (I'm writing from the Debian Lenny right now) but any other network application just won't work.


regrading the firewall - no, just the default router settings
how do i check if I ran NAT? (or, just me not really knowing what it is may mean that I do not run it?)

anyone?

Same here on a MSI MegaBook VX600X-015EU . For start it`s making problemnt at instalation, you need acpi ori something disablet. then i find out that it`s having atheros wifi, that`s not open surce, i had installed madwifi but dosent work and dont know if it had a grafical interface. ubuntu 9.04

I've actually managed to fix my problem by adding some dns servers to the server list in /etc/resolve.conf

try first to make the internet work with a wired connection and get to te wireless as you get at least this working...
this is my plan

i have reinstaled jaunty and now it`s work. The only problem it`s when i switch the wireless internet from the button and turn it back on, i have to restart ubuntu to get it work, i think for sure that it`s a command to make it work without restart, but in rest it`s good

10x for the reply
