35140 - Any non-local http:// URL cannot be found

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Jindra Vavruska]

When connected via PPP, no URL which is outside the local system can be found -
just as if were no connection at all. Local http connections work as it would be
expected - well.

The pppd sets defaultroute and replaces default /etc/resolv.conf by a new one
pointing to ISP's nameservers when connection is established.

Other browsers (Konqueror, NN4.72) and network programs (gftp) work fine in the
same environment.

M14 on Mandrake-6.1 based system powered by kernel 2.2.13, AMD K6-2/266.

[e-mail] - M14 is too old a build (over a month) to be reporting bugs 
against. Please could you download a recent nightly build and tell us if you 
still see this problem.

Thanks,

Gerv

[e-mail], can you please test this with a current nightly build.  
Look for the ones that say M16. Thanks.

I think it's probably worth marking as WORKSFORME. I've never seen such a
problem on any of the Mozilla builds I've tried under Linux.
Perhaps some proxy settings needed to be set for HTTP access.
