Reporter, are you seeing a "access-blocked" popup ? If so, it's a dupe of bug 28586 (see bug 149978 and bug 70084 why).

Reporter: Are you saying that mozilla is not checking against your hosts file prior to trying to resolve them via DNS, but it is doing this in IE?

In the hosts file there is a line: 192.168.5.5 lnx 192.168.5.0 - My local network When I start Mozilla.exe http://lnx:82/cgi/my.cgi I receive DNS error Name Error: The domain name does not exist. when I start IEXPLORE.EXE http://lnx:82/cgi/my.cgi, all is Ok!

Is "Name Error: The domain name does not exist" the exact text of the error message?

To R.K.Aa Yes, but my DNS sends messages in Russian exept off error description: Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

-> networking

Which hosts file are you using?

The same as with IE. \windows\hosts

Works for me: Edited: "c:\windows\hosts" Added a host name, and then was able to use it to connect. Can you put your entire hosts file into an attachment?

Was the host you added a local host (i.e. on the same subnet) or a remote host?

192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0 - my lokal net 192.168.5.5 - box with firewall with other NIC 10.10.15.24 Below is My \windows\hosts file -------- 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.10.15.64 child 10.10.15.23 vales 192.168.5.5 lnx ----------

Sorry. Certainly local net :)

I added a bug this morning: bug #195823 I think it may be a dupe of this bug. I _DID_ do a search for "hosts" first, but I swear to god that this bug did not come up in the search results, otherwise I would have not created a new bug. Anyway, if you check out that bug, I have left much more verbose testing information in there.

oops, wrong bug

REOPEN: The duped bug is mostly Mac OS problems with the same description, but likely a different root cause. Are you on a corporate network? Do you use domains or workgroups?
