Through a local network, all computers except one ubuntu machine can access 1. Adobe.com 2. Icann.org 3. Apache.org 4. Example.com.

The ubuntu machine returns (in firefox): "Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection."

Furthermore, when I traceroute those websites using the ubuntu machine, they all return ubuntu.local, and it ends there:

(traceroute to icann.org (192.0.32.7), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 ubuntu.local (192.168.1.105) 3000.791 ms !H 3000.808 ms !H 3000.814 ms !H

I've checked the hosts file, and there isn't anything in there, and I have an apache server there so if it was redirected to localhost, I'd probably see the localhost webroot page.

Thanks in advance!

The Ubuntu Machine is one of six on the network.

I'm using opendns for dns, so I do think that should be a problem.
