Can anyone Figure this out?
 

When i have javascript enabled i cannot view Linuxquestions.org but when i disable it I can, I stalls during loading, If i stop it and disable javascript it loads fine and yes its only with Linuxquestions.org I have went through all the options in all the browsers and set them to default and custom and everything and i get the same thing

It does it with all the browsers ive tried (execept Dillo cuz its not javascript capable)

I have tried Opera, Mozilla,Firebird, Galloen.

I cant remember if Ive posted this before so if i have sorry

moved to Website Questions and Suggestions, thanks

Anyone know??

Strange that it would happen in all of those browsers. Where does the page hang? Do you use any kind of http proxy?

No proxies. It hangs just as the page starts to load and on the opera loading bar that tells you what part of the page is loading it says " CONNECTING TO REMOTE HOST PAGEAD2.GOOGLESYNDICATION.COM " thats where it hangs and i found one other forum that it does it on but that forum is a pretty simple one. When i disable Javascript it does not do it, only when it is enabled. I just had to enable it then disable it so i could see the message again to put it in this post, LOL.

Yea, I get that too(very often), I just thought there was a problem with the network, always when it tries to connect to the address above. I just usually reload...

Can you reach PAGEAD2.GOOGLESYNDICATION.COM? Is this happeneing to anyone else?

--jeremy

No, When i try www.pagead2.googlesyndication.com I get cannot connect to remote server and when i remove the www Opera just freezes and nothing loads.

www.pagead2.googlesyndication.com doesn't exist. If you can't get to pagead2.googlesyndication.com it may be a routing or DNS problem. Can you get to other Akamaized sites?

--jeremy

I dont know what a Akamaized site is. What is that?

A site that uses Akamai.

http://www.akamai.com/

So is there any way to fix the problem with having to disable javascript then enable it back and forth every time i want to visit LQ.org?

I am unable to reproduce this in any browser. Is this happening to anyone else?

--jeremy

Ok, I feel stupid, Its my firewall. Iptables/firestarter When i completely disabled my firewall then the adpage.google thing dosnt happen but when i enable the firewall LQ.org locks up on the google.adpage thing but how is this related to javascript cuz when i enable my firewall and enable javascript it locks up? Maybe the ip to the googleadpage is blocked?

I have experienced odd behaviour with mozilla and iptables but not quite the same. Try adding a rule to allow loopback connections:
iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -d 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
