[SLUG] Help required with internet browser problem.

[Sharon Doig <po_box_304@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi SLUG,

RE: Help required with Internet Browser Problem.

My Firefox, Opera and Konquerer fail to connect to internet.  All browsers have automatically defaulted  set to OffLine mode. Even if I untick Offline mode  my browsers fail to connect to the internet. A message is displayed failed to find website and suggests that I have a malformed URL.

I am running a Asus A6000 Series on an OS Linux 2.622.5-defaultx86_64.  My Linux Software may have been updated on Tuesday night.  My DH can't remember if he did run an update or not.  He has re-insalled the whole Open Suse OS and software suite.  This did not help to resolve my original problem with the browser not connecting to the internet.

Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Thanks

Sharon - Canberra.

err, just `route` will actually work, where `route -a` is not sensical.. I
was thinking of arp, but you shouldn't have to worry about that.... yet.. ;)
