Briefly, with 2.4.19 I can't get to certain web locations while other
locations work just fine. I see the problems with plain ftp, mozilla and with
lynx.
Not so briefly:
I upgraded my kernel (compiled from source, etc.) to 2.4.19 about two
weeks ago. Everything seemed to be working but yesterday I noticed I could
not access some web and ftp locations. After suffering the "You're not
running Windows?" discussion with Qwest technical support, I was embarassed
to notice that other systems here worked fine. The problem was limited to the
one machine. I sheepishly told the Qwest technician "never mind" and started
trying to debug the situation.
A few minutes ago I rebooted that machine with the previous kernel,
2.4.9_34, and found those same locations now working. In 2.4.9_34 it works,
in 2.4.19 it fails, but only for selected web locations. For what it may be
worth, the failing/working web locations are www.users.qwest.net and
ftp.users.qwest.net.
Anyone recognize what's wrong or know where I should go to research this?
Any/all tips/suggestions would be most welcome. I'm looking for 1) a
fix, and 2) a methodology to resolve this on my own next time. (I'd
appreciate both a fish, and being taught how to fish.)
TIA
