[Bug 894194] [NEW] can't access some internet servers after upgrading client to ubuntu 11.10

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I recently upgraded my ubuntu desktop pc from 11.04 to 11.10, upon
completing the update I tried to ssh into one of my servers on the
internet (a vps, its address is  vps.p-s-e.tk) however I got the message
'no route to host'.

I then tested the connection by pinging the vps.p-s-e.tk and all pings
came back perfectly not one packet lost, I then tried nmap

sudo nmap vps.p-s-e.tk which came back with the expected ports
(including 22) marked as open

I then tried telneting to port 22 and got the same response 'Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host'
'
thinking this may have been a problem with just this pc I installed ubuntu 11.10 on a separate pc and with a fresh install got the exact same response

note, the access problem occurs for all attempts to connect to the
server ie imap smtp http https etc

the client can connect to other servers / sites on the web ie google

(note I can still access/ ssh into the server (vps.p-s-e.tk) via other
linux/windows/android pcs/devices on the same lan segment ie 10.6.111.*)

having searched around the web for a fix for this problem I came across
a series of threads that in the end lead me to totally remove apparmor
from the pc (I don't know why it had come back as I had totally removed
it long before the update to 11.10)

however this did not solve the problem

also of note is that I host a web page off my home internet connection
and it cant access that from the pc either, again nmap shows the port as
open but nothing can seem to get to it  ie telnet returns 'Unable to
connect to remote host: No route to host'


-------------------

notes 
the client pc address is 10.6.111.238
other pcs can ssh into the client pc (Im sshd in from my mac right now)
this problem affects all user accounts on the pc inc root
ipv6 has been disabled
