| what browsers are you using? i know for some gtk applications yo need to run them as root 'su - ' after installing, then you can run them as normal user. and are you sure your username is in the groups that can run web apps? there might need to be more than one catagories. |

Browsers are different (lynx, firefox, konqueror, dillo, w3c etc), not the matter. pings dont go out, wget dont work too.

had a similar problem. bit different because it was on our router.
on this router dnsmasq utilised /etc/resolv.conf which was set 0600 by ip-up.
just changed this in /etc/ppp/ip-up to 0644 and it was working again. |
