Fedora.

Yep. start.fedoraproject.org, download.fedoraproject.org, forums.fedoraproject.org - can't get to anything at all. I know they're not down because I can use my phone and see them. Everything else I surf is fine.

I have a FC13 server as my firewall/router which is connected to cable internet, my regular desktop is Gentoo and I'm using it to make this post. I don't know if it's my ISP (Time Warner Cable) that suddenly started blocking Fedora but if someone can help troubleshoot I'd be much obliged.

My server runs BIND, here's the config:

/
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//

options {
listen-on port 53 { 172.16.48.3; };
listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
allow-query { localnets; };
recursion yes;

dnssec-enable no;
dnssec-validation no;

/* Path to ISC DLV key */
bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

forwarders {
24.25.5.60;
76.85.229.111;
76.85.229.110;
};
forward first;


managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
};

logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";

trusted-keys {
};

Thanks!

A few suggestions to start with:
* Have you tried from more than one computer behind your fc-firewall?
* Can you move your computer to some other network? If so, is the site accessible from there?
* Can you access *.fedoraproject.org from firewall? (If you don't have a GUI on firewall try just ping'ing or use links/lynx.)
*Check your computer & firewalls /etc/hosts

And /etc/hosts.deny.

i am having a similar issue accessing fedoraproject.org. I dual boot win 7 and fedora. Just set my laptop up with fedora 15 and yum can't access repos unless I disable everything from fedoraproject.org. Tried to access the site in firefox, cannot connect to site. Booted into windows, still cannot access site. Went to a web proxy and fedoraproject comes up fine...
I run a dsl modem wireless router combo which I have the wireless shut off and instead I connect it to an N wireless router. i reset them and also renewed my ip, no help. I have had no problems in the past accessing this site with this laptop.

actually, just found out they had a dns issue, and changed their nameserver fron ns1 to ns01. it should be updated and rectify itself, but if you are still having issues, you can use google's public dns by adding
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
to the top of /etc/resolve.conf for IPv4
or
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8888
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8844
for IPv6
