Once upon a time I've got similar problem. The fact is that your
loopback device (127.0.0.1) must be able to access to Internet if you
want to navigate and download, even passive FTP transfers. That's, I
think, because the navigations request are forwarded via loopback.
How? Be sure that on all machines its iptable input chain (or chain
which is referred from INPUT) contains something like (from iptables -L
-v -n):
Chain RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT (2 references)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
0 0 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0
(my INPUT forward to RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT, on fresh FC1 installs its
name is different). The iptables command is:
/sbin/iptables -t filter -I 'your_chain' -i lo -p all -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d
0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT
so your loopback device is free to access Internet and to make
requisitories.
Maybe that could help you, maybe don't, but it's a silly thing that in a
Red Hat 7.1 installation stopped me!........:-)
