276835 - Firefox can't resolve intranet hostname

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Sohil Laad]

I am trying to access the above mentioned web site through FireFox browser, but
I get the following message:
===================================================================================
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: punepmo:443

The following error was encountered:

    Unable to determine IP address from host name for punepmo 

The dnsserver returned:

    Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query. 

This means that:

 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. 
 Check if the address is correct. 

Your cache administrator is root. 
===================================================================================

This works through IE browser though. Please note that I have already imported
the settings from IE to Firefox.
further this website is an "intranet" site.

Changing summary from "Web site accessing" to "Firefox can't resolve intranet
hostname".

Over to Networking.

do you have any "No proxy for" entries listed in options/general/connection
settings?

Do you know the domain name of punepmo?

Can you try https://punempo.whatever.tld/ ?
