From your logs it looks like lo is set up for DHCP (and using a V6
address) ???? If you are using IPV4, it should be hard configured to
127.0.0.1 (don't personally use MDK, but that is supposed to be
somewhere in the network startup scripts)

Probably dhclient whinging about lo, eth0 seems OK.
First step: can you ping the default gateway (10.4.253.253) ?
Next step: does DNS resolution and ping to outside addresses work? What
does 'ping www.example.com' tell you?

Most likely scenario: network admin has blocked outbound traffic on port
80, and installed a login script on the windoze domain server that sets
up IE to use a proxy. Check the proxy server configuration in IE, and if
it has a proxy configured copy that setting into Firefox.
