Hi, I am facing strange Internet experience on my Ubuntu system. I have a system with Dual Booting, Linux/Ubuntu and Windows XP. Airtel Broadband connection is with Beetel Modem interface to ethernet (not usb). Now, I can open Google.com, can search. I can open Gmail, read/send mails. i can open citibank india page. I can ping any site, and the Ip is resolved quickly (ping shws the IP Address and also pings ). I can open a site (cannt disclose the adderss, my companies internal site), using IP address (no name regsited for that server).
BUT, I cannot open any other site. I can search but when i click the link in search result page, it just says,. "Waiting for site_name" and then nothing happens for long. I telnet to yahoo.com port 80, issued GET /index.html but nothing happened, just "Remote host closed the connection" For all sites, it says "Waiting " and then nothing happens. This is really strange.In google translate, I opened youtube.com and that opened, but not the images or links which has direct requested to original server. Talked to airtel guys, but let me tell you, they are the dumbest technicians in the world (at least at customer care center). I have bad experince with them. Let me share that to you people: Once I called Airtel Broadband Customer care, and asked, wht is the Gateway address for modem to airtel network, and they said 192.168.1.1 I explianed the fact to them tat this is modem, which is gateway foir my computer. The guy thought for sometime and trhen said, 192.168.1.1 I shouted and he ran to call senior officers, said he knows the address and can tell you. The senior person came and I had to brief everything again, and at last he said, "Sir please write down, the gateway address is 192.168.1.1, and that is used for everything, from computer to modem, from modem to airtel, wven we here use the same" Enjoy -- -=Ravi=- _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
