Hi Hendrik, Thanks for your answer. /etc/resolv.conf does contain the nameserver address 8.8.8.8 But "host www.google.com" gave a negative result. Having no time for further experiments (as stated, my wife needs the laptop for her work) I decided to install Lap 42.1. Now things work OK. A pity, I would rather have investigated what caused the trouble here - I use Tumbleweed since quite some time happily on my desktop-pc. Thanks again, Jogchum Op 30-05-16 om 20:48 schreef Hendrik Woltersdorf:

Hi,

I installed Tumbleweed snapshot20160520 on our laptop, as a fresh install, but with the existing /home dir's. Beforehand it ran 42.1, which I had to re-install or upgrade.

Somehow I'm unable to reach websites. The (wifi)-network is running, I can ping external addresses (e.g. 8.8.8.8, which I set up as first nameserver), but I cannot access websites. Not as normal user, not as root (destination host is unreachable).

Firewall is disabled, and using our phones I do get access, so it doesn't seem a router problem to me.

I tried both networkmanager and wicked. Networkmanager keeps on asking for the password of the router, wicked gives a working wifi-connection, but no access to url's.

Using that laptop, with webaccess, is crucial to my wife's work, so I'm rather desperate to get it up...

Anyone an idea?

Regards, Jogchum

Hi,

it seems to me, that dns is not working. To check this, try for example "host www.google.com" in a terminal window. Interesting files:

/etc/resolv.conf --> should contain your nameserver 8.8.8.8 /etc/nsswitch.conf --> Try to remove "mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]" from the "hosts" line.
