I believe the problem simply solved by disableing ipv6 dns in firefox or system wide.<br>about:config -> network.dns.disableIPv6 -> False <br>This is well publicised, not hard to find the fix and not found only with Ubuntu systems. Seen reported in suse 10.
<br>Don't blame the distro, blame people not communicating.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/27/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Donald Rogers</b> <<a href="mailto:dero9753@ihug.co.nz">dero9753@ihug.co.nz</a>

kppp. I can dial in to IHUG using my external modem (not PCMCIA) and<br>when I get there /sbin/ifconfig shows that ppp is connected, and gives<br>me IHUG's IP number which I can ping okay, but Firefox finds nothing. In<br>
other distros with kppp (Mandriva2005, 2006, Suse10.0) there's no<br>problem. That's why I never use Ubuntu.<br></blockquote></div><br>
