SUSE 10 Strange Internet Connection

Hi all, i have used a few distros of Linux and have finally settled with SUSE 10.

I have had a strange problem with all of the distros i have used.

I can connect to the net and browse fine with Konqueror but if i try to use firefox it just says that it is connecting to the site then times out after a while. also anything else that trys to use the net wont work like the auto update utility.

Anyone got any ideas whats going on?

Thanks Lee

are you using wired/wireless connection? some people find that by turning off ipv6 helps them conenct using other browsers. Search these forums for threads about slow internet or turning off ipv6.

i am routing the net through a D-Link DSL 504T.

my windows machine works fine with it, just seems to be the linux box

did you try turning off ipv6 like I suggested?
