Hi: I'm looking for some help with running Firefox-Mozilla on my PS3 using Linux Yellowdog 6. I'm able to connect to the internet via my Linksys WRT54G2 router but when I open the browser window which is Firefox-Mozilla I can't go anywhere. I'm able to get the start window to Google on the screen but can't go anywhere from there. I have checked every time and my connection is still active at the router and at the devise tab. I also turned off the firewall in Linux to no help. One more thing as soon as I boot back into the game OS my connection there has no problem at all. I have set up the connection static and auto. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

I have a cable high speed connection

Do you need to configure the connection? I know on some distros, it's not automatically set up. I wouldn't know how to do this as I am not familiar with yellow dog.

This may not be the problem, but that's what it sounds like to me.

Problem Solved !!!!!

Had to reconfigure setting to the router the change was not using the proxey setting and making a direct connection
