<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have installed Ubuntu version 6.10 as dual
boot. All went well except that the internet connection does not seem to
work for all by one website. I'm using a D-Link ADSL modem/router which
works well with Windows XP, Internet Explorer and Outlook But when running
Firefox the waiting circle spins for a couple of minutes then gives me an error
message to say the connection has timed out and the requested website did not
respond in time. This happens with <A
href="http://www.ubuntu.com">www.ubuntu.com</A> as well as every other URL I
have tried, except one. I have followed the setup instructions in Ubuntu
and rechecked the modem/router settings from Ubuntu. I've tested the
connection with Ping from within Firefox and it seems to work OK. Strangely, the
websit which works is <A href="http://www.BP.com">www.BP.com</A>, why I just
don't know, but when that site offered to upgrade my flash software the same
problem arose. I'm a green as grass newbie to Ubuntu, this being my first
excursion into Linux. I have set up my email account in Evolution, but
send and receive produces the same error message, "Could not connect to
pop.dsl.pipex.com Connection timed out. This laptop is connected to the
modem/router with Ubuntu 6.10 installed on the other machine. I would much
appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks. Bill
