Cant browse web pages

[coldmeadow]

Hi

I can ping web pages, eg ping www.google.com

I can ping router ping 10.1.1.1

I can ping other computers on network ping 10.1.1.4

Now when I try ifconfig as root I get "command not found", do I need to load a package?

I can update packages.


Thanks

How did you become root?

You should have typed "su -".

man su for the reason why.

Ethereal will tell you what's going on; without data, we can only guess.

One thing I could mention is that I've seen issues with IPv6 before; you should probably check that IPv6 is disabled in Firefox. Google will tell you how.
