redhat 8 external web access problems

shaefner · 12-06-2002, 06:47 PM

I just set up a Redhat linux 8.0 box and I'm having network problems. I can browse websites within my domain, but I cannot make http connections to the outside world. I've tried using Mozilla, Lynx, Konquerer, etc., all without any luck.

At first, I suspected a firewall issue, but after discovering that the redhat firewall tool doesn't seem to be saving modifications, I used the command 'service iptables stop' which I learned on this forum.

My DNS and gateway are working, and I can see the outside world when I issue ping requests. For example:

ping google.com

PING google.com (216.239.51.100) from 130.118.46.124 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.google.com (216.239.51.100): icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=84.0 ms
64 bytes from www.google.com (216.239.51.100): icmp_seq=2 ttl=47 time=84.2 ms

We do not use a proxy server, so that's not it either. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Scott

what dns. your domain dns or internet dns?
does the dns server have a forward zone to point to ?

try to get a dns server from a ISP and on the nic configuracion make a third dns. this may work.
the problem that you have is resolving names sience you can ping the outside word,
