how come i can get conected with skype and amule and not with firefox and konquerer?

This is with a wireless network and a router. Can it be some firewall?

I tried to turn off the firewall on the computer but nothing.
And I cant ping www.google.com

thanks for any explanation.

Most likely DNS resolution fails. Please post /etc/resolv.conf.

If it's a DNS issue, you should still be able to have all your access through IP addresses. This is one of the address for www.google.com (there are several, most likely for load balancing issues).

try "ping 209.85.165.103" and let us know what happens, oh yeah, do what auxsvr suggested and do a "more /etc/resolve.conf" and paste the results so we can see them.
