Can use ssh and vpnc but not web browsing

My machine can connect to wireless router and renew IP address. Also it can connect to a server via vpn/ssh, but I just cannot surf the web. I tried both Firefox and Chrome but neither worked.

I am using my Windows machine now. This machine uses the same router.

I’m using SUSE 11.2 and everything was fine yesterday evening. It seems both browser just suddenly stopped working

How can I DEBUG it? Please give me some advices. Thank you so much!

Another interesting fact: I can use IP address to visit a website. For example, using http://74. 125.45. 100 I can visit Google.

Configure DNS.

Sounds like a DNS configuration issue - you’ve not indicated what version
of openSUSE you’re using, but let’s start by looking at the contents of /
etc/resolv.conf - that is where the DNS configuration is stored.

You are right. For unknown reason namserver was set to that of my university.

Thank you so much!
