"Direct connection" is selected. I can enter the IP address for google and it will open the google search page. When I enter a search item it will find it. But it will not recogzine www.google.com. When I enter www.cnn.com I get the message: "The connection timed out" "The server at www.cnn.com is taking too long to respond." Yes I agree it is Firefox the is the problem!
