I am running a Mint 13 XFCE machine and, seemingly out of nowhere found myself with "Server not found" pages in Firefox. However the blackout is not complete; at least one domain is reachable.

A few extra curiosities:

  • I could through Thunderbird connect to some imap email servers (but not all) through port 993.
  • Seemingly the only page I can ping is berkeley.edu. All others I have tried say host unknown. (In fact, the mail server that Thunderbird can reach is on the berkeley.edu domain)
  • When at Berkeley today, connectivity was fine after 15 minutes or so. Back home, the issue remains.

Here are the things I tried:

  • Restarting
  • Checking the router from another device (ok)
  • I used to connect through a proxy server (automatic configuration URL) but disabled that as the first try to restore connectivity.
  • Connecting with a wire to the router

My firewall is off. Any ideas what might be causing this?

So far I hacked it by removing /etc/resolv.conf and I am back online for the moment.
