Connected by network cable Linux/Firefox doesn't connect to the internet

Hello
People go to the public library and plug the public library's network cable into their laptops and access the internet. Naturally the library has the dns and dhcp already setup so that we can connect to the internet in this way. When I plug my network cable into my laptop and boot Windows and internet explorer I get internet access. However, when I plug the internet cable into my laptop and I boot up Oracle Enterprise Linux I get the "server not found" message using Firefox.
Why doesn't Firefox connect to the internet using network cable at the library when Windows does connect using the same network cable?

Drivers for the network card maybe? A link does no good without drivers.

  • Why does my airport utility always ask me to connect an ethernet cable when I would like to use the extended network option?

    Why does my airport utility always ask me to connect an ethernet cable when I would like to use the extended network option?

    Please locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. Hard to see.....gray lettering on a white background....so you may likely need a magnifying glass and good lighting to see it.
    The model number starts with a "A" followed by four numbers. If you see A1084 or A1088, unfortunately AirPort Utility 6.x in Mavericks OS X (10.9.4) does not support these older models. However, you can still administer these models if you have a Mac.....or can borrow one for a few minutes....using Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

  • My time capsule seemed to have given up so I have just got a net gear router, I have no problem connecting  wirelessly but when I connect an Ethernet cable it says it's connected but pages will not load

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • My Apple TV will not update to the latest software, dose anyone know what the problem is, I've reset, tried to do it wirelessly as well as while connected via Ethernet cable.. Both have resulted in the same message!!

    My Apple TV will not update to the latest software, dose anyone know what the problem is, I've reset, tried to do it wirelessly as well as while connected via Ethernet cable.. Both have resulted in the same message!! Update unsuccessful, current software version is 5.1 (5201) . I've rented a movie recently and does not appear in my movie list, but I have been charged for this movie, can someone help me out with these issues.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
    Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.

  • A network error occurred while accessing this document on the internet

    Dear all,
    I am now facing a very unusual problem that, when I try to open a pdf file from internet, it says: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?". Here's my situation:
    Browser: IE8 (or Chrome 35.0.1916.153)
    Adobe Reader: 11.0.0
    OS: Win7
    1.Directly open from IE. Says: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
    2.Try to download(Save AS). In IE, says: "The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"; In Chrome, nothing happened, but still can't download.
    3.Try to disable the "PDF Reader Addon" in IE8. First the browser needs to download the PDF file, but failed, see point 2.
    1.I can open the same PDF file from another network, that is, out of my company.
    2.I can open another PDF file in the network of my company, but the pdf is created by another scanner
    3.All PDFs from both scanner can be opened locally.
    So, here's the possible problem, the network settings, and(or) the PDF. Does anyone ever meet this situation, please help?
    Thank very much.

    Rave,
    IE: 8 & 9
    Adobe Acrobat Pro/Acrobat Reader 10.x & 11.x
    Chrome: work fine
    So the answer is to manually enable and disable websites based on whether the pdfs open within the browser.  That doesn't seem like a great long-term solution to have have our users to manually enable / disable browser integration.  We have web applications that work better with browser integration turned on.  Is this something that Adobe will fix or is it an IIS/IE issue.
    It appears the Adobe removed the #1 config option that you lised in the new 11.x versions of both products.  The manage Add-ons does not disable the browser integration on the new Adobe versions.

  • Firefox cut off access to the Internet.

    Firefox cut off access to the Internet.
    In a first time, Firefox completely cut the connection forcing me to restart the Mac OS 10.6.4.
    I restored a version of Firefox antecedent using Time Machine than a month old.
    Now, the connection problem is only partial and Firefox more accesses to the Internet.
    In addition, I must force the software to quit and when I try to restart Firefox, a message tells me that "A copy of Firefox is already open. A single copy of Firefox can be open to both "...?? ?
    You said weird? Someone has an idea on how to solve this?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • HT4108 Can you connect an iPad to any TV to Skype or use the Internet?

    Can an I pad connect to any TV in order to Skype or use the Internet?

    No, you will need a computer that can be host for the USB dongle.
    Unless your dongle has hotspot functionality (can create littlle private wireless network), then you should be able to connect to it.

    Yes it does
    I also tested with French and English versions. Acrobat Professional X seems to react the same way but Adobe Reader 9 works!

  • External HD connected through network cable

    Ok, I am a brand new mac user and am extremely confused. I have an external HD that connects through a cat5 cable. There is a plug in the drive for usb, but its the same jack as the computer so I guess I cannot connect it that way. It's a couple years old so I think things have changed a bit.
    Anyway, when I plug it in I can't seem to find the drive anywhere. is it supposed to appear in finder or what about disk utility? It just doesn't seem to exist and I am looking for something like windows explorer to find it. When I plug it into my pc I can see it, but not my mac. I can't really reformat the drive either because I can't see it on my mac. Am I doing something wrong, or will the cat5 cable just not work?
    Thanks

  • I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

    Hi there -
    I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
    Please help!

    Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
    Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
    Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
    You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
    Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
    Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

    You should try changing your home page to:

    I think this is probably the page you are looking for. If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
