Hello all, i’m new in the linux field, but i decided to give it a try and install it. I have installed fedora 10 first, but i had the same problem, and i wasn’t very happy with that version. So today i downloaded openSUSE 11.1 and after installing i noticed i have the same problem. The wire connection is active, the ping from the console is working, i have pinged the router i’m connected to and google. it’s working. from the browser i am able to connect to the router interface, but i’m not able to access any webpage. i have runed a ifconfig, this is what i get :

mss-ms-dos:~ # ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:D1:14:07:21
inet addr:192.168.10.50 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

My router ip is 192.168.10.1 … so i don’t know what Bcast:192.168.10.255 means …

Try doing this: Disable IPv6 - openSUSE Forums

Though I would expect you should be able to access the web anyway. But doing the above is probaly a good idea anyway. So do it and report back.

Hi Everyone,

probably mmy first forum and first question. Problem is quite tricky.

My internet is working. Perfect. It is wireless. pinging router answer with 0 % loss… Then pinging google and Samba – Opening Windows to a Wider World returns with 0 % packet loss. I m connected to skype where i had long conversation with the friends.

firefox loads few pages like google, google shopping…out of 100 addresses i tried only 3 loaded all the rest prompted with page load error…

I m sending this message from my office PC using the same wireless internet through remote desktop.

I mean what should i do now. I tried this ipv6 true… disabled it …
Interesting thing is that firefox works like hell when i used the cable at my office.but when i would connect though wireless everythign works but not all the pages loaded …

any clue… :o((
