Hi All<br>
I had written months back that I couldn't get onto most google
sites, like search, maps, but I could connect to drive, gmail and
others. since many sites use google I'd get a timed out error. I
checked w/ google support, cybermesa, every forum I could find.
After many efforts I checked /etc/hosts (should have sooner but
there are so many config files that none of the forums even
mentioned it.) I run a couple virtual machines, one being FreeBsd,
and could connect to all google on those. Then that stopped too.
Looking in /etc/hosts I found:<br>
<br>
$ cat /etc/hosts<br>
127.0.0.1 ubuntu-laptop localhost.localdomain localhost<br>
::1 ubuntu-laptop localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6<br>
127.0.1.1 ubuntu-laptop<br>
<br>
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts<br>
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback<br>
fe00::0 ip6-localnet<br>
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix<br>
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes<br>
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters<br>
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts<br>
# Inside /etc/hosts on your Host<br>
#192.168.56.101 BrianFreeBSD.home.local <a class="m_4656125446902715719moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">www.google.com</a>
<a href="http://anyother.fakesite.com" target="_blank">anyother.fakesite.com</a><br>
<br>
and found the last line-very weird! I commented it out and
everything is back to normal. I'm wondering how that entry ever made
it into the file though?<br>
<br>
Best to all the Gluggers!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
