Problem solved. It turns out I had a domain in the 'search' line in /etc/resolv.conf that was set up to do wildcard DNS so everytime I would enter 'redhat' or 'google' it would try and connect to redhat.wildcard.org or google.wildcard.org and end up failing to connect. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Before mozilla 1.0.1 I could enter 'google' or 'redhat' or 'slashdot' in the URL entry box and it would automatically try google.com, www.google.com, www.redhat.com, etc. Of course I had to have Enable Internet Keywords turned off in my preferences to make this work. Now, however, if I just enter the word redhat in the URL bar I get this message: The connection was refused when attempting to contact redhat. I *really* prefer the old behavior as it made for speedy manual browsing (now I have to type www.redhat.com if I want to go to Redhat's home page). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mozilla 1.0.1 2. Edit menu -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Smart Browsing 3. Uncheck Enable Internet Keywords, click OK 4. Delete anything in the URL bar and enter the word 'redhat'. Press Enter. Actual Results: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact redhat" comes up in a new dialog box. Expected Results: I should be taken to www.redhat.com. Additional info: mozilla-1.0.1-2.7.3 is the rpm -q output
