Hi halvy,

I am on a 32 bit system. If I dont have a file /etc/modprobe.conf with:
alias net-pf-10 off # IPv6

in it I can not get Firefox to work, but Konqueror will.

With the line in aMule works, Firefox, Konqueror all work. It seems only apt has the 1.0.0.0 problem.
ifconfig output:

I do have Vmware installed hence vmnet8.
Ra0 is my wireless card but the problem was still evident when I was using eth0.

I will try another kernel though - I am using a self compiled one - but it will require a little bit of work to get my wireless ralink 2500 card to work.

Thank you for the effort.

not that it matters probably, but why is your:

inet addr:192.168.1.11

set up to a # like this, which is reserved for local networks (and not the internet??)

both your cards are thus..

or better yet, HOW is this so.. i mean, how can you acess the net at all! just curious..

i'm not familiar with vmware.. but maybe that is where the glitch is.

Hi halvy,

192.168.1.11 is my local PC's LAN IP address.

I have istalled BIND (a dns server) on my local PC. I and am pointing the PC's DNS address to 127.0.0.1 (loopback address) and BIND to 192.168.1.1 (gateway-dns). This seems to be working.

apt-get update is working - further testing is required.

I did have a previous version of BIND installed for test reasons and then uninstalled it.

I will reoprt back - tomorrow - and give feedback but things are looking good.

If BIND solves the problem I will keep it as it does speedup repeat DNS lookups.

Thank you for you time and effort.

Hi,

The installation of BIND has solved my problem.
Thank you for the help

No, I am seeing this problem on 32bit Ubuntu 5.10 as well. This is on a 'real' machine - when I run it on a VMWare virtual machine I get no problems with this at all.

I have just fixed the problems I had by updating the firmware on my DLINK DSL-G604T to the V1.00B02T02.UK.20050815 release if anyone else has this problem and ADSL modem...

ok, good. so your saying upgrading your firmware on your router helped you fix internet connection problems, right?

I had the same problem sometime ago. I went into the repositories in synaptic and deleted the "us" from every repository that had it. Then i quit and did a "sudo apt-get update" and it worked fine.
