Hi guys, I'm having trouble using local-only data when connecting through my Wildfire's wifi... My router is set to pppoe mode, and all local sites work fine from my PC (google, youtube, mybroadband, etc). When I try access local sites from my phone browser, it works as well, /except google services/. www.google.co.za is not accessible, but if I ping it and get its ip from my PC, and direct-connect to the IP, it works :wtf:. I have a modified hosts file for local services on my PC, but I can still connect to google/youtube even if I remove my changes. Even stranger, I can access the android market from my phone, through local cap.
I am not rooted, else I would tweak the hosts file on my phone. On that note, I tried a method that involves getting a temp-rooted adb shell, but I managed to somehow destroy my current one-line hosts file (it just listed 127.0.0.1 as localhost). Is that bad? Meh... if anyone has an idea of why the hell it won't just work, please give a shout, I'd like to actually use the youtube app on my phone, and using my leftover local cap would be great
UPDATE: my router is set to half-bridge mode, and if I dial my afrihost account over the default local-only connection, I can access the whole web, except google services and youtube, despite using them for the entire afternoon?
is this problem on google's side, or are my settings just really messed up?
UPDATE: it's working again now. I don't even know
