Thanks to everyone who answered...

I can ping both .com and .net

I can traceroute both .com and  .net
On traceroute  the last 4/5 hops are ***... Which is probably  OK???

I am not running  any firewall..  Unless for some reason Firefox
generated one of its own...

/etc/resolv.conf  is just fine..Everything else works...   Just .net
won't come up in a browser...  And


This is the error I get with FIrefox.

#################



Failed to Connect








Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.comcast.net.




Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

Big surprise  Opera did load comcast.net..

I can't verify email...But, that looks good


Seamonkey results below

##############

Failed to Connect



The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.comcast.net.




Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

I am still very confused..


If anyone wants to see  ping  or traceroute I can post...


Thanks for the help so far..

Marvin
