Hi Sharon,

Maybe these are stupid questions, but have you checked your DNS settings?
And if you're connected to the internet (ie, your IP settings are correct)?

try running `ping www.google.com` in a terminal - this will tell you if your
connected to the internet and if it's a browser problem

and if that fails

`cat /etc/resolv.conf`  in a terminal - this will tell you what DNS servers
you're using
`route -a ` will tell you what your default route is (this has to exist)
`ifconfig` will tell you what your local networks are configured to use
