Hello everyone!
Well I'm very pleased to say that I'm sending you this email from my new HP 2133 notebook. Switching off IPv6 was the trick to getting it all working. Thanks everyone for your help, it's much appreciated.

Hello
Thanks everyone for your responses, I've just realised that I had IPv6 enabled so I've switched that off and now I'm at work I wont be able to try disabling firewalls etc. till this evening. However, to answer some of the questions at least:
What version of SuSE are you using? It came preloaded with SuSE 10.1 What is the output of route? I'll have to send that to you all tonight when I get home but it is seeing the ADSL router however Do you have a proxy setup in firefox? No, I've set to it use direct internet connection Can you try browsing with konqueror? No, its not installed and I cant get updates etc.
Thanks again everyone for your suggestions, I'll be in touch again this evening when I'm back at home.

Hi Yvonne,
SuSE does not use apt-get for updates. If you want to check for updates, you will need to use the Yast Online Updater (type 'you' on the command line).
Alternatively, YOU can be accessed from Yast in the KDE menu.

Hi
I've just had delivered an HP 2133 with SuSE installed. I have broadband connection at home which is setup with an ADSL router so I normally just have to plug in and the connection to the internet is direct. From the console session I can see the router, I can see that I have an IP address and I can even ping google.co.uk, bbc.co.uk etc. However, I cannot use Firefox, eventually I get the timeout message. Also I cannot get online updates (I've tried apt-get update from the command line) and I cant even seem to find the icon where I register for updates. Can anyone help me please as I'm new to SuSE (I have used Ubuntu previously).
Thanks
