Fearless browser can access NET but not OO2Go+
Submitted by Derek H on June 28, 2007 - 10:30am.
I have two (2) LivePCs installed. The Fearless Browser and the OO2Go+ Linux OS. My environment makes use of a SOCKS5 proxy server. I am able to access the internet from the fearless browser LivePC by specifying the proxy settings in the Firefox browser. However, in the OO2Go+ I cannot access the web from the included FireFox browser. I entered the same proxy settings that worked in the Fearless Browser. Both Live PCs are using "bridged" networking. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Still no Net access

Thanks for the reply Kevin. I am still not having any luck getting network access from the OO2G+ LivePC. I followed the steps below from the DNS troubleshooting article you posted.
1. I tried pinging my Host machine IP address. The message I received was "Network is unreachable".
2. I tried pinging the host machine by hostname. The message I received was "Uknown host xxxxxxxxxx", where xxxxxxxxxx is the host name of my machine.
I notice that the OO2G+ LivePC takes a little while to start. It takes about 2 minutes to boot up when running from my USB 2.0 external HDD. Just before the window manager in Linux boots up I do quickly see something about an error, but the screen disappears so quickly I can't see what the error was.
I also followed the steps that talked about changing the policy in vmnetcfg.exe from Order to Rotate. This did not seem to have any effect.

We've observed that DNS may
We've observed that DNS may not resolve properly with NAT but not with bridge. See for tips on checking on DNS issue
DNS not working with NAT.
Why the difference between Fearless and other LivePCs...Fearless is configure with OpenDNS.
If you have multiple DNS entries on the Host (ipconfig /all), is it possible that you change the ordering to see if the OO2Go+ will work.
Let us know if any of this helps.
