Phil, Yeah, I tried Firefox. it can't find google or any other outside URL. Going back through the screen response when bringing the networking back up it references the line -- Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetwokManager/ActiveConnection/2 state: activated -- I tried to find this directory and can't get there as root as well. Don't know if it exists. I have just ran Ubuntu 11.04 on this system just yesterday without a networking problem. I have also run Fedora 15 on it was well -- no problems .. with network card. I loaded the live CD for Open SUSE 11.4 and noticed in running the live CD it also did not give me access to the network. I wonder if there is a security setting or firewall setting that is effecting connection. All other computers have access to the router gateway and the internet. ???
