Firefox broken for internet sites

[y_o_u]

I am running VMware Server 1.0.3 on Slackware 12 (2.6.21.5 smp kernel). I installed Ubuntu 7.04 onto a new VMware machine without flaw. Everything, as far as I can tell, works fine (except for browsing).

I tried both NAT'ed and Bridged network connections, same results. I could ping google.com (or its resolved IP address) correctly from bash, and also wget worked correctly. When I opened up Firefox, I could surf to an intranet site (by hostname or IP address), but if I tried google.com or its resolved IP address, it would not work (took 3-5 minutes just to time out).

I temporarily resolved this by installing konqueror and it worked correctly.

Thanks, very nice product you guys put together.

Thank you for the bug report. Is ubuntu running in Vmware? do you see this bug outside of vmware if not running in it. Can you please give us a full set of instructions to reproduce this bug? Also can you try epiphany as you tested with firefox? Can you please give us some sites this happens on and some that it doesnt? Are you able to get an strace while reproducing this bug and attach it to this bug report.
