can't access some website
 

i'm using fedora 9 and mozilla 3 with dsl internet connection. i can't access some site in my computer but other computers can using internet explorer. example of sites i can't access is www.dot5hosting.com or www.dagospo.com

what could be the problem?

i hope this is the right forum for this.

thank you for any info.

Can you ping the sites?
Use that command:
And report the result

define can't access please?
was it something like connection refused or server did not responding in your Firefox or else?

Could you resolve both of the DNS using nslookup command for example :

hi!

Thank you very much for your reply. Actually, www.dagospo.com is my website and www.dot5hosting.com is my webhost. Here's what i got after trying your suggestions.

In my little understanding, it seems that the signal from the sites are intermittent or malfunctioning. I asked the webhost, the technical persons suggested that i clear the cache and other private data which I did but the problem persists. They also said that at their end they have no problem accessing the said sites. I also tried many computers but all have the same problem, except for one computer which has microsoft server 2008 system and internet explorer.

Not sure if it's gonna help, but this is something I got recommended to do and it helped.

It seems to me that your problem related to the DNS Server.

Try changing the DNS to Google's OpenDNS like @ranko_6 suggest. If it works, then report to your webhosting provider about it.

HTH,

tried changing the DNS settings and voila! it works!

i thank you all!

God bless!

hello again!

may i know what's wrong with my former dns provided by our dsl provider. why can't it access the my website?

thank you for any info to shed light on this matter.

raport

you do now that fedora 9 is way,way,way past it's END OF LIFE
and there have been and never will be any updates to it .
for all practical purposes fedora 9 is and has been DEAD.

as to your dns issue ???
it is anybody's guess as to why your old dns service went bad.
OpenDNS is a good service , i have been using them for years .
