Re: [ILUG-BOM] Need Help: Sify Vs Linux

Unless microsoft.com uses something other than port 80,firewall shouldn't be a problem.

I posted this a while ago, I am facing a strange problem for the last 15 days. I can not browse the Internet though Linux, where as it works well if I do it through the 'now' discarded Windows XP. The problem is sometime Linux does

connect me to the Internet. At the same time I can use Pidgin etc and other Bittorent clients to download distros, but cant browse the Internet.. Another amazing thing is, while I cannt open any other site, Microsoft.com opens in a second...so what could be the issue?

Have you checked your firewall configuration ? Maybe that is blocking it.
