note: when i say ping in this post it also mean i cant access it in firefox or any other web browser
ok im not a network genius, i know basis (router, ip, mac, dns)
i live in a small town in canada,
i can allways ping and access
www.google.ca
but .com rarely
ping return unknown host
if id only do search i would not mind,
but mail, apps, map, .... all pass through .com
right now i use tor to get through and it works, but its really long.
i think that it has to do with my dns (could be wrong)
service is good,(considering where i live) there is just this problem
i search a bit around,
my first taught was to give direct ip in /etc/hosts, but google.com seems to be dynamic( or some like it, not a network genius... lol)
when i realized that i cant use wildcard in /etc/hosts, the ides became obsolete.
then i taught that maybe i could do a local dns for my laptop, just for google.com domain area,
from what ive seen, the answer is simply NO...
i tried opendns (i dont like it, too often it does not find what i want)
following is some output of nslookup i did:
nslookup:
Code:
:~$ nslookup www.google.com
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
;; Connection to 192.168.2.1#53(192.168.2.1) for www.google.com failed: connection refused.
my router is ....2.1, but the firewall is disabled..... ??????
Code:
:~$ nslookup google.com
Server: 192.168.2.1
Address: 192.168.2.1#53

I have a second distro installed (LFS), same problem

www.google.com, i get to google.ca (that fine, on linux i get nowhere)
