    web browsing limited, why?

    To start off:
    I installed Suse on two seperate ocassions and both times had the same behavior as I now have with Mandrake Linux 10.0 installed on the same machine along with 3 flavors of Window$.

    Problem:
    I can browse to some sites such as Yahoo but am unable to view search results or connect to any Mandrake update site. Get an error:

    An error occured while loading http://www.mandrakesoft.com/:
    Could not connect to host www.mandrakesoft.com

    This same problem was exhibited in both installations of Suse 9.0 and 9.1. I did post the question in the Suse forum and recieved one suggestion: Check browser settings.

    I then did numerous browser setting changes and reboots, problem reamained. I am stumped as to what is happening.

    Current System:
    Mandrake 10.0 clean install no modifications
    Compaq Prosigna Desktop PII 450Mghz
    256 Mb Ram
    TNT Riva 128
    Ethernet D-Link DFE-530tx+
    WD 20 Gig hd
    Blitzz BWA 711 Wireless Router
    Internet connecion = cable

    right now I'm installing Suse on a different computer to see if I get same results. Suspicious it could be hardware on old desktop or router.

    Try going to a few sites using the ip address instead of the url.

    After installing Suse 9.2 onto a different machine the same problem appears. I tried to use the Suse IP address 195.135.220.2 and Konqueror gave error:

    An error occurred while loading http://195.135.220.2
    Timeout on server
    Connection was to 195.135.220.2 at prot 80

    Please keep in mind I have a wireless router/firewall, and now I feel this may be the problem.

    Current specs:
    Suse 9.2
    AMD Athlon 2100+ XP
    Asus A7N8X onboard LAN & Sound
    NVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64
    512Mb DDR Ram
    40Gig WesternDigital
    Cable internet connection through a Blitz BWA711 Wireless Router/Firewall

    Ok thanks for the help, I figured out the problem. After I disconnected the router/firewall and connected the linux machine directly to my cable modem and did a fresh install I can now do online update and the such. Now I will turn my attention to using my router/firewall with linux to access the internet.
