    Hello all,

    here is my scenario.

    I used wvdialconf and set up my modem. I have done this various times with no problems. After connecting to my ISP, I opened mozilla and no websites could be found. I then opened a terminal and tried to ping a website or two and received location not found(or similar) messages.

    I chose to install everything as I wanted to test drive about all of the components. I have not updated anything. During installation, I enabled the firewall security but only allowed SSH and WWW(http) through.

    Any ideas why I can connect to my ISP but cannot get to any websites or other internet sites?

    Thanks,

    -Jason
