If your isp uses dhcp then select the dhcp option on the networking tool.

What does sudo ifconfig give

$ #sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list

Add this line
alias net-pf-10 off

Save and Restart

Reason for this is the system looks to IPV6 before IPV4 on the router; Hence the eternal Fire fox circle. Some routers support this and most right now don't

I was having similar problems with internet connection through SBC Global. Jason's (Metzen_w) tip was a real winner. THANKS!

My script in terminal was the following: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list

same thing just didn't work with $ # . I'm sure it makes sense to someone who is not a n00b like me.

The rest was exactly like he wrote.

Namaste,
