Hello everyone, I'm a first time poster and new to openSUSE. I've had a small amount of linux experience and even studied UNIX a few years ago - unfortunately, to paraphrase Homer Simpson, "as something new enters my brain something old has to leave". In this case nearly everything I learned about UNIX
Anyhow, ms problem is this. I've installed 11.2 with KDE desktop. Using either Firefox or Konqueror browsers, I am finding it impossible to display any webpages, other than Google. All google websites, such as gmail, calendar and searches work perfectly. Unfortunately, I can't directly enter a url into the address bar nor can I link from a google search.
I've hunted high and low for a solution but have failed to find one. I am utterly perplexed.
I will be eternally grateful if anyone can help with this.
Google seems happy? Can you ping google, and another server of your choice from the box in question and report back please? Lets make sure it is seeing google and its not a branded local page

What do you mean by the box in question? The PC?
I have previously pinged google and it seemed fine but will have another go - but not for another couple of days. Too busy from now in
It allows me to log in and out of google, it even updates maps if I add change post codes. Emails have been received and sent also.
I even wondered if Google itself was preventing me accessing other sites, but that's ridiculous, isn't it?

Try the ip address in the command line from google.com instead of the name.
Might be a port 80 issue. Could see the web pages on nc (netcat) and use it on port 80 to see if it is open. telnet on port 80 to google.com might help also.
