  1. Problems in browsing in opera

    I have a problem browsing with opera which started when I upgraded from
    Mandriva 2007.

    I cannot access any pages on the web at all. The web can be accessed
    normally using other browsers such as Firefox or Konqueror. My email
    program and newsreader also work OK, so I would appear that my internet
    connection is OK.

    I am now running "Mandriva Linux release 2008.0 (Official) for i586"

    The browser shows:

    Error!
    Network problem

    You tried to access the address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page,
    which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address
    (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
    Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other
    applications that rely on the same connection are working.
    Check that the setup of any Internet security software is correct and
    does not interfere with ordinary Web browsing.
    If you are behind a firewall on a Local Area Network and think this may
    be causing problems, talk to your systems administrator.

    The primary DNS (as shown by my router) is 194.72.0.114

    Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

    Why not just use firefox as it works? I can't see any real problem.

    If the network access is working for other browsers, then it has to be
    an opera related problem.

    Which version of opera?

    You can try "opera -pd ~/testopera", to see if it's a problem with the
    settings in any of the .opera/*.ini files.

    That nameserver address would be a machine on your local network if there
    is one with that IP number. If there isn't a nameserver there, I'd be
    wondering how any of your programs are finding anything.

    On my Mdv2008 system, when setting up the network connections, I selected
    'Get DNS servers from DHCP' and my resolve.conf contains the primary and
    secondary DNS servers that the router has been set up to provide. The
    alternative is to unselect that option and enter the DNS server IP numbers
    you want to use.

    > The primary DNS (as shown by my router) is 194.72.0.114

    That seems to belong to BT.net

    > Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

    Edit the network connection in 'Configure your computer - Network and
    Internet - Set up a new network interface' to either 'Get ... from DHCP'
    or with the IP numbers of your preferred DNS servers.

    That's because Opera sucks dick, big time.

    Use a real browser. I'd suggest Firefox, or Seamonkey.

    I tried that. I got the same network problem message as before, and
    there were no errors on the console.

    While the "alias net-pf-10 off" should be disabling the ipv6, check
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ensure you have
    IPV6INIT=no
    IPV6TO4INIT=no
    Replace eth0, with the correct nic id. See if that makes any difference..
