Hi!
When I came home one hour ago, I had a really strange problem (not had, it's still there!):
knetworkmanager connected wlan0 to my router, as always!
Next I started firefox (using version 4 beta). Typed an URL, pressed enter and then: "Firefox can't find the server at www.google.com."
Tried other URLs, same result! Another browser... can't resolv this and that.
After that I swtiched to terminal: ping www.google.com WORKS! I can ping EVERYTHING!
Then I tried: "emerge --sync":
| Code: | !!! getaddrinfo failed for 'rsync.gentoo.org': [Errno -2] Name or service not known
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.gentoo.org 873: Name or service not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7]
>>> Retrying...
!!! Exhausted addresses for rsync.gentoo.org |
After a few minutes I found a solution: disabling IPv6 using sysctl...
But that's no real solution, also I can't remember which packages I updated (maybe there's the reason)?!
Hope for HELP!! |

Ensure your DNS server supports IPv6 queries. If your system queries the DNS server for an IPv4 IP as well as an IPv6 IP, most servers will reject the request - you need to find a server that gives you an IPv4 IP and tells you there is no IPv6 IP.
Google's DNS (8.8.8. supports IPv6 queries. |
