[icedtea]

hi, i have installed VL5.8 in my virtual box.. here is the details of

ifconfig:

vector:/~
root:# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:BA:DC:A1
          inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

i am wondering on why internet connects in konqueror but NOT in firefox considering that i am using the same proxy for both. .
