Hi

I have the N900 connected to my intranet wirelessly.

Now in the maemo browser i type "http://wiki" and i changes it to "http://www.wiki.com".

No matter what intranet site i type (i have many apache virtual hosts setup) it doesn't work.

how do you get the browser to resolve the url as typed?

thanks,

On MicroB open up about:config
Search for the value browser.fixup.alternate.enable and set it to false.

hi i tried that and even restarted the browser but no luck.

For a moment i see "http://wiki/" but it still goes ahead and passes that to the google search.

I can definitely reach "http://wiki" from my old E71 also without tweaking browser settings ;-)

EDIT: could this be related to https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995 ? if i put a ".local" my 'intranet domain suffix' it tries to hit my webserver. I am sure my router is handing out the correct dns settings. how can i check? ifconfig on the n900 ?

EDIT2: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7239 ??

thanks

hmm.. comparing the /etc/resolv.conf with my Ubuntu Lucid desktop:

desktop dynamic setting:

Code:
domain local
search local
nameserver 192.168.0.200
n900:

Code:
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Is there a bug here ? i have the latest firmware/maemo5 as of now.

thanks

Reopen the about:config after you've restarted the browser and see if the change has been made. Sometime the browser is running in the background that causes any change in prefs.js reloaded.

It should not be a solution but rather a workaround. You may define the mapping in /etc/hosts so that typing 'wiki' in MicroB will send you to correct intranet website:

(as root)
Code:
echo 192.168.1.10 wiki >> /etc/hosts
(192.168.1.10 is an example)

I'm not sure if this can be considered a bug anyway.

Its a bug allright.

Can you first add the nameserver which you see on the ubuntu machine to the n900's resolv.conf file and see if that works?
--
Have you tried running the script mentioned in the bug? You'll need to update the script to change the path to /var/run/resolv.conf.*
Run the script after you have connected to the network and verify that the resolv.conf file has been updated with entires for domain and search if your network has them.

Thats one way of handling, but you really cant expect to create a hosts entry for all the intranet servers.
The name resolution should have been handled by the resolv.conf file which apparently is not being updated correctly.

@9000 Thanks for your help, i restarted but it still doesn't work.

I agree with this bug thing though (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7239 ??). Clearly the n900 is working differently to all my other devices on my home intranet my Nokia E71, 2 desktops, 2 laptops (linux and windows) are not displaying this behaviour.

I understand that the Internet profile for N900 would change when you say select 3G from your operator vs your own WiFi router settings. it should be able to switch seamlessly no ?

N900 doesn't have the same user experience as others doesn't make it a bug. I'd have to speak like a Microsoft sales the behavior is a feature for convenience rather than a bug. You wants to do things differently, you need to tinker the configuration yourself. Besides, insisting it as a bug wouldn't help you, especially when it's not a bug reporting channel.

Please set aside the definition of a bug atm. You have yet to check whether the change you've made as been committed to prefs.js. If the change is committed to the prefs.js and you still get redirected to internet domain, you can look at somewhere else.

Also, while you're checking the about:config, may I ask whether you've tried other browser?
