I am new to Linux and I am having some issues with getting to the internet. I am using a WRT54GX router, I can ping sites such as google but I can not get the page to load, I am getting a timeout on port 80. I have connected this computer to another network and I am able to connect to the internet on the Linux partition.

I have a dual boot system and I can connect via XP. I have no firewall active, and nothing restricted in iptables. I am using SuSE 9.0. I am really at a loss for why I cannot connect, any help is appreciated.

Can you ping google by DNS or by IP only?

I can ping google by name or by IP.

Strange, because you connect to the websites port 80, not your computers' port. Have you tried more than web browser?

Maybe try a non-GUI web browser such as lynx to rule out X

I have tried both Firefox and the Konqueror borwsers, not familiar with lynx. Here is the exact error that I am getting:

An error occured while loading http: //www . google . com/:
Timeout on server.
Connection was to www .google. com at port 80

Exclude additional white space, had to do that as it wont let me post a URL.

I will try Lynx and see what happens.

Is there a quick and dirty way of installing Lynx?

The best way on SuSE is Yast
