Hello,

I apologize for cross-posting this, but I haven't recieved a reply from 
-questions yet, and I need to get this fixed for my job or I will have to 
switch to Windows.

I was running 4.4-release for a long time, and I could access any website on 
the internet.  Then, I decided to upgrade to 4.5-release and now I cannot 
access certain websites, some of which include www.apache.org and 
www.bn.com.  However, I can access other websites such as www.yahoo.com, 
www.freebsd.org, and www.altavista.com.  I have tried to find a pattern in 
the IP addresses, and there is no pattern.

What seems so strange is that I can successfully ping ANY website on the 
internet from my machine.  When pointing the Lynx browser to 
http://www.apache.org, it says "Looking up www.apache.org" for about 1/2 
second and then it says "Making http connection" for about 2 minutes and 
then it says "cannot connect!" and then it stops.  And, yes, I can 
successfully ping apache.org.  I also tried using Opera and had the same 
results as with Lynx.

I have read the ppp chapter in the handbook about 8 or 9 times just trying 
to find a clue to whatever I am doing wrong.  Last night, I did a cvsup and 
then a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, and installworld, and I still 
get the same results.  However, today, I believe I can access a few websites 
that I couldn't access yesterday, but then again, that could be my mind 
playing tricks on me.  I still cannot access a lot of websites.  I am using 
the same ISP that I used before and that I use in windows, and I only have 
this problem with this upgraded machine.

Anyway, I am willing to send anyone my kernel config file, ppp.conf, or any 
other file that might be helpful in solving this problem.  Thank you all and 
I look forward to any reply.

Korey Pelton
