I have just changed my connection to my cable modem from USB to

found that certain web sites which were accessible whilst connected
via USB are no longer accessible whilst connected via Ethernet. Can
anyone outh there shed any light on why this would be tha case ?
Type of connection eth/usb should not matter except ethernet should be
faster. Maybe different rules in your firewall. I assume you have the
same DNS values in ethernet as usb.
I had a wierd one where I could not connect to mozilla.com. It would
time out but was not having problems with any other sites. Change
from Verizon internal DNS to public DNS servers fixed the problem.
After me and the HelpDesk played around we could not figure out what
was wrong.
So, he pushed a new DHCP lease, I power booted everything, again,
and it worked. I wound up on a new segment using the same old DNS
servers and mozilla.com started working.
