Hi all. I am asking about this for a friend because from what I
understand Linux is not for the novice. While I may not be a novice I'm
certainly not an advanced user. I know just enough to be dangerous. LOL
Anyway, this friend has Linux installed and said, "As for Linux, I can
ping, get mail but Firefox will NOT go online. I have changed settings
galore but nothing." Can anyone shed some light on why he cannot get
firefox to go online in Linux. I bet you are going to want to know
specifics about his computer. What I know is it is an Acer laptop with
XP installed. He lives in Australia if that has anything to do with it.
Beyond that, I don't know the specifications of his computer. If there
is something else you need to know to answer the question, let me know
and I will ask him.
Thanks, Beth
