Using Iceweasel, Google Chrome and Lynx I cannot access http;//

What error message do you get?

It just sits on connecting.... then times out (sorry about the typo)

And what is the exact error message Iceweasel shows? I am asking because
I suspect you may have a global proxy configured somewhere and the
message would indicate that. You can also try



Failed to Connect

Iceweasel can't establish a connection to the server at www.debian.org.

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a
connection.

* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network
connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?
Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

$ env | grep -i proxy


Nothing, even as root


to see whether that is the case. Can you ping www.debian.org?

Have you
tried editing your sources.list to use ftp:// instead of http://?


Ok changing to ftp now..

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Hmmmm is the security entry correct ?

All Web browsers Iceweasel, Chrome, Lynx still need outside proxy to access
