This goes back to my post - IF you installed Ubu-Server, by default -
it's DHCP, you did produce your resolve file (that's good) but this
means that it could be getting the info from your router (I dont recall
if you mentioned if the router is handing out DHCP or not)

As I mentioned before - you need to do some very basic network
discovery. Ping the network inside the router, ping something outside,
provide trace routes, etc. Firefox will only do what the OS tells it to
do - notig more (unless of couse you went into the settings and tweaked
around - if so, set them all back to the defaults).

Since you installed the Ubu-Server, make sure you check out the docs on
the Ubu site - additionally, did you install a firewall on Ubu? If so,
check the rules.

Since I don't do a WM on Ubu-Server (for that mater, on any other unix
server I have), I can't help you with the graphical end of things. I
prefer not to have the added overhead on a server - if I wanted that, I
would have installed ... well, something out of Redmond ;)

The only other question that may need to be looked at is if Ubu-Server
has SELinux installed and turned on. This could be the issue.

Just a thought.
