I just bought a new laptop, a Dell Vostro 1310, and installed opensuse 11.1 on it, at first everything went ok, but after i upgraded the system, i can’t load neither google.com or gmail.com (regardless of the browser), it’s weird because i have this problem only when i’m connected through wifi. if i put the google.com ip on the browser, it loads the google site and everything is ok… so it might be the dns… but i do a nslookup and i do get the google.com ip…
I don’t think the access point could be the problem since with my other laptop everything works fine…
Has anyone else have had this problem before? any ideas on how to solve this?
Did you get an error message? I had trouble with gmail. I blame a Firefox upgrade. I had gmail set for https:// only, for a couple years now. This week it stopped working and I had to disable https.
Maybe. Now I see that the address bar says https when I’m connected to gmail.:sarcastic: There’s lots of weirdness lately. I tried to respond to a thread with the single word “yes” and I got an error message that replies have to be at least 10 letters. Well, I was quoting a long sentence at the time. Anyway, I changed that to “yes I am” and it worked. Counting spaces and punctuation as letters, it was still only 9.
Just disabled the ipv6, and, it didn’t work either…
this is what i get with a nslookup…
luisrossonero@linux-43la:~> nslookup Google
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.

In the first post you said, you are getting the IP when you do nslookup, but the output of nslookup doesn’t look right.
I think, you have a DNS problem. See if your DNS entries are set correctly by the router. Otherwise, just try manually setting it.
