Issues with Internet Connection on Puppy 4.2

I recently installed Puppy 4.2 for a friend of mine on their desktop PC. I got the OS up and running quickly, but am now facing an internet connection issue, or rahter, an issue with SeaMonkey.

I am able to get a Wifi connection (or so the Wifi widget says. Ping won't confirm anything), but after setting up a firewall, I am unable to use SeaMonkey to browse. I tried reinstalling the firewall, letting the connection (wlan0) have free acess, its IP have free acess, etc. but am still unable to browse.

I don't know if this could be

A Firewall Issue (most likely)
An Issue with the Browser
An NDISWrapper Issue
Something Else

Help is appreciated

EDIT: Fixed

I ended up just reinstalling so I could rid myself of the firewall, which was what was causing all of my trouble. I don't know how to uninstall or disable that, so that was the only way.
