[sclug] Strange networking problem

[Derek M Jones]

All,

I installed Suse 10.0 on my laptop without problem,
including downloading the latest patched.

Installing Suse 10.0 on my new server box (more packages
installed) brings up some odd networking problems.

I can ping other boxed from it and it can be ping'ed from
other boxes.

I can telnet and ftp from it to other boxes.  However,
attempting an mget, or get, from ftp results in a long delay
and no files being transfered.

firefox has no luck obtaining an address for any url I type in.

Most interesting of all.  I installed a program, working under
Suse 9.3 and get the message on the server:

_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
Epsilon: Cannot connect to C server: 127.0.0.1:0.0

Suggestions or ideas anybody (X is working fine)?
I have done a complete reinstall.  Same problem.
Sounds like some socket layer is not running.
