Good day fellow journeymen, I am having an issue that I simply can't get my brain around so am seeking an assist. I am new to FreeBSD and do understand that support for all issues is not a given, even more so that this is probably something I have done on install. If this is the wrong forum please do feel free to point me at the right place.
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC running on a home built pc that I use to test stuff.
I have one very odd issue.
I can't connect to FreeBSD.org
I am writing this from within Firefox 75, as retrieved by pkg. If I click on the home tab at the top of the page I get Server not found. Also one of my banks is available to me and one isn't. It's not browser related as the, ostensibly, same browser is working fine on a Linux box. Don't read anything into the Linux box, I am not into bashing OSs. I can ping -c3 but no browser, even elinks can connect. Using my tablet over the same network therefore same ISP I can connect to FreeBSD.org.
Firefox returns Server Not Found
Elinks returns No route to host
I come to the forums cap in hand because I am confused since the more I look at this the more I see FreeBSD not wanting to allow connection to it's own home.
I retired as a military systems analyst in 2000, in mid 90s I was fluent in AIX having migrated from God's Chosen Operating System (GCOS6) and am more than happy working with the command line.
If I have missed something obvious in my set up, please be gentle and advise which log you'd like to see to assist this knackered old war horse.
