SuSE internet problems

[cchou10]

Just recently the internet on SuSE 10.2 stopped working. Nothing was changed and when I try to go on firefox, it says that the internet is not connected. Any ideas why? It worked fine before but now just doesn't work. I have three partitions on the hard disk with SuSE 10.2, windows xp, and ubuntu. The internet works fine on windows, just not on SuSE (I didn't try ubuntu). I did compress files in windows the day before though, if that makes a difference.

This could be that your browser is offline. Failing that check the /etc/resolv.conf file. I use SUSE Linux too and find that the NetworkManager keeps setting the /etc/resolv.conf file to include DNS that are not local and that my internet connection no longer works. To verify that it is not a network related issue just ping a common public IP address such as 64.233.183.99 (google).

If you added recently any proxy add-ons for firefox it may cause the connection seem of line.
check it and try to start firefox in safe mode it may solve it.

how would you check because when I searched up etc/resolv.config, it just appears as "domain site." This has occurred twice already with each time after a period of not using the internet or linux for around a week. Could that have an affect? Thank you for your responses.
