Damnit. I took down the firewall and the problem persists.

What problem? Quote some context in replies, try a descriptive subject line.

Grant.

THe browser cannot find the server.

That's the same bad description you used the first time.

I THINK you mean to say, you can not find any web sites using your
web browser. That would probably NOT indicate a problem with
your browser, but rather a problem with your system's connection
to the internet.

See if you can ping your ISP.

For example, if your ISP is comcast, try:

ping comcast.net

If that doesn't work look thru the internet settings GUI
you distro provides.
