The first reboot after recent update of the system have |
| 2 |
shown that I cannot open any webpage in Firefox. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
More exactly, Firefox or my system cannot any more resolve |
| 5 |
URL to IP address (sorry if I use wrong terms). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Thus, |
| 8 |
host gmail.com |
| 9 |
gives: |
| 10 |
;; connection timed out no servers could be reached |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Nevertheless |
| 13 |
dig @8.8.8.8 gmail.com |
| 14 |
reports the corresponding IP adresses. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I have not changed any my network settings and my |
| 17 |
/etc/conf.d/net file still contains list of my DNS servers |
| 18 |
that contains server 8.8.8.8 as well but somehow it is |
| 19 |
not enough any more. :( |

During my last system update, I suddenly found that |
| 22 |
I had to update about 150 packages, what was a little |
| 23 |
bit strange as I update my system at least once a week. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I have attributed that to the remnants of gnome2 (now I am using |
| 26 |
fxce4) that I have not cleaned completely and that is now going |
| 27 |
to update. So, I deviated a bit from my usual system update routine |
| 28 |
trying to fix that. Nevertheless, as to my view, during my system update |
| 29 |
I did nothing to distroy the DNS lookup. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Luckily, I save my system update logs and now can attach |
| 32 |
the last one to this e-mail. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Please, help me to recover my internet access, |
| 35 |
as I still have to do a lot of real work till Monday |
| 36 |
and have not enough time to investigate this problem |
| 37 |
alone and without a proper internet access. :( |
