Cant get updates or connect to internet through firefox

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 a complete newbie to SuSE (I have used Ubuntu previously).

Thanks

Welcome aboard.

You must have the SuSE Enterprise desktop (SLED).
You can connect to Suse for updates using the Novell Customer Center (NCC).
