I can't access pages outside my network from my SuSE 9.1 laptop; and I
can access my router configuration pages. I've tried stopping the
firewall, to no avail; I've tried using raw IP addresses to access
external pages (to avoid engaging DNS), too. How can I fix this?

It turns out that I can access a webpage from my server, however, so
the internal access is fine. However, external access is still
unavailable. Also, when I use an Ethernet cable, access to external
pages works fine. The main problem is external access using my
Centrino wireless card. The card is initialized and works fine for
internal access.

Also, I'm getting an IP from DHCP. I tried using a static IP, but it
made no difference. I can access everything from everywhere else on
the network.
