For some strange, unidentifiable reason, I cannot reach certain sites through any web browser. Pinging the site responds well, as does traceroute, and telnetting to port 80 on the machine connects me to the site. However, once connected, no web commands are working, and any programs simply hang at this point. Using lynx (as an example; all web browsers on my machine have this problem), a connection is established, but the program hangs on "HTTP request sent; waiting for response." I have waited overnight for a response, but it stays at that point. I have tested this in any way I could think of. I have telnetted to other Linux machines, and found that they can reach the site without difficulty. I have tried using my other computer, which shares the phone line, internet account and settings, but runs Windows 98. Again, no difficulty. I have removed all software that might be acting as a firewall, removed local DNS services and have rebooted to verify that it is not a cache issue. I have also checked the FAQ, and tried to follow the directions for problems with ECN, but do not have a file named /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn. (I am using devfs, if that makes a difference.) If this is not a kernel issue, then I hope someone can direct me to some other way of fixing this problem. If a solution cannot be offered, then advice about how to trace this problem would also be welcomed. Here is a partial list of sites that I have had problems with. Note that once I find one of these sites, it is consistantly unreachable, even with sites found months ago. www.codewarrioru.com www.backwire.com www.counterpane.com www.zip2it.com Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. ---- Jonathan Eisenstein jeisen@mindspring.com PGP Public Key: http://www.mindspring.com/~jeisen/pgp.asc - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
