Hi!
I am facing a strange problem for the last few days, I am not able to browse th e Internet through Ubuntu or any other Linux distros. While when I log into my 'dismissed' Windows machine everything runs smooth. My Ubuntu is fully Updated while Fedora 9 is a fresh install. So, is there anything wrong with my machine or Sify is deliberately blocking Firefox etc.
The problem is more likely to be in the local system than the ISP, is there any chance your local firewall is blocking port 80 (HTTP), the easier way to check it might be to try booting from a live CD/DVD (especially since your mail says you have ubuntu) and then try to browse,
Interestingly I get full download speed when I use and download manager on Linu x also my chat clients are also working fine only problem is with browsing...ca n anyone please suggest?
This again shows that the ISP is not blocking the internet access
Thanks in advance... Swapnil
