What is bothering me, is that IIRC the Vmware simply connects via the

Actually, no, it was not the same IP address. The way I did the
network setup in vmware, the virtual machine is assigned it's own IP
on the network. I believe. I actually reinstalled, since everything
was fresh. An hour and a half later, the same problem, with the same
websites. Slashdot won't load, vmware.com won't load,
toothpastefordinner.com exhibits the curious behavior that I can hit
refresh dozens of times (I'm sure he appreciates me) and slowly load
in a portion of the page.

I have seen this before..but I can't remember why it happened.



Also, I've not noticed any odd behavior with updates or installations,
so those servers seem to be happy.

Mmm.



You ARE running te latest firefox I hope? there was at least one release
that was flakey as hell.

I agree, I do not believe it is a DNS problem. The pages start to
load, I get the title in the title bar, and an icon on some pages, but
that's it. And yes, the pings don't fail lookup. I receive an ip
address for basically whatever I type in.

Right. Its not DNS for sure.

Its not the underlying network low level stuff cos that is independent
of IP address.

I also can't blame firefox, because a fresh Kubuntu install only has
Konqueror, and it has the same problem, even before I install
firefox. Firefox IS the latest stable build, however.

Mmm. I wonder if you have a router/firewall issues that only applies to
the exact IP address that the linux is on?

I will be able to check this later today, but I'm fairly sure that it
is not the issue. I had it as .107 earlier, and after the new install
I'm now .101. Same problems either way.

I have a 'dumb' linux question, for my next idea. I know windows
doesn't complain if I turn it off, jam a new network card in, and turn
it back on. It sets it up and everything. If I do that with Kubuntu,
will it take care of the setup? Just on the odd chance it's my
onboard card, I DO have another downstairs I can plug in and try.

Not sure. I set stuff up and get it working and never touch it unless I
really have to. Ubuntu is supposed to be as plug and play as it gets
though,.

But I do not think this is the problem somehow.

I'm planning on giving this a shot later today, just to see if it
helps. If I can fix it by just plugging in a new PCI Ethernet card
and disabling onboard, I'll let it go. I'll let you know.

Thanks again for all your help, Philosopher. I owe you one. Let me
know if you have further suggestions, please.

Can you tell us what sort of network/router/firewall you have there?

A dump of the "route" command might be good, also "ifconfig -a"

Ok, a few things. Between the computer and the Internet I have a
Linksys RV082 router with basically the default settings. I did have
to change MTU on it to 1460 for the Xbox, and a few ports are
forwarded, name and password changed, etc. That's it. Also, I have
setup no firewall on the Kubuntu machine, unless it comes with one,
which then is setup as default.

Lastly, as another user suggested, I did a curl -v slashdot.org, which
prints out the HTML content of the page up to only a certain point
each time...

<h4>
Sections
</h4>
</div>
<div class="content" id="links-sections-content">
<ul>

And then it stops. I'm not sure if this is the way curl works, or if
it's significant that it's stopping after X number of lines, or at the
same point each time, or what.

Thanks again to everyone. I hope we're getting closer!
