Hi,
I have just installed opensuse and the codecs to replace windows on my laptop.
This is my third day using open suse and some of the websites i try to open (amazon.co.uk, gmail.com and others) redirect to a chinese website called ÁìÏȵĻ¥ÁªÍøÓ¦Ó÷þÎñÌṩÉÌ-ÖйúÍòÍø(www.net.cn)](http://www.net.cn)
This is the same with the firefox and opera browsers.
How can i fix this?
Thanks for your help.

Have you browsed the web when logged in as root?
Are you using a proxy?
If not using a proxy, one way this could happen is if your hosts file has been
corrupted, but that should only happen if you were browsing as root. To check,
please post the output of:
cat /etc/hosts
Syntax:
Thanks for your help.
Im new to linux, so i just put the code into the terminal and this is what i got.
IP-Address Full-Qualified Hostname Ahort-Hostname
xxx.x.x.x local host
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 ipv6-localnet
ff02::1 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::2 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::3 ipv6-allrouters
xxx.x.x.x linux-kwr9.site linuxkwr9

This looks OK. BTW, you don’t need to obscure “127.0.0.1 localhost” or
“127.0.0.2” in the last line. Those are non-routing loopback addresses that are
found on all *NIX computers, and probably on Windows machines. Disclosing them
is not a security issue.
You didn’t answer the questions about browsing as root or if you have a proxy.
If you want to get help on these fora, you should be really careful to follow
the instructions and answer all questions.
Thanks. I wasnt sure, so i was just playing it safe.
I dont have a proxy, and i am not browsing as root. I log on with the details i provided when i installed opensuse.
This also happen on my sisters windows computer (which i transferred some files from) but only on firefox and only when she types a string of characters like ‘google’
without www. or.com
It redirects to the same site www(dot)net(dot)cn
Thanks for your help.
When I try this it redirects ‘http://amazon.co.uk’ to ‘http://www.amazon.co.uk’.
What do you get when you launch
dig amazon.co.uk
in a terminal?
