Hi Folks,
My Mozilla browser has suddenly, for no apparent reason, stopped doing DNS lookups. I was using Mozilla quite happily doing some web browsing yesterday evening then temporarily exited it to check my emails using Kmail. I then restarted Mozilla and, frustratingly, discovered that I could no longer browse the web with it. Every time I type in a URL it immediately comes back saying page not found. If however I do a ping to suss out the websites IP Address and type this IP Address directly into Mozilla then it finds the webpage and loads it ok.
The problem still exists this morning, even though I have rebooted my PC several times in the mean time. I can of course still check my emails and ping using URLs, I can even use the Opera browser without problems; it is just the DNS lookup part of Mozilla which has stopped working.
Has anyone else come across this problem? If so how did you solve it?
Confused and bewildered...
Ian.
