Even though I unchecked  "work off-line" in Firefox" I still get the
message "Firefox cannot find the server at www.clearstatio.com"       
The system is connected to the internet. the phone is making those funny
noises. May it be that Firefox is not installed,  even though it shows
up on the bar?
What is Jaunty or Intrepid, is that something I have to install from
somewhere before browsing.?
