i think i’d start by telling us more about what is going on there…
like: are you unable to browse to any sites?
like, can you ping your “internet server” and, tell me what you mean
by that…do you mean your ISP’s home page, or what?
can you ping nytimes.com ?
Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?
did you install 11.0 while the computer was connected to the internet?
did you set up and test your network during that initial install? did
you run the connection test the install script offered you? what were
the results of that?
how are you connecting to this forum? that is, from the same location
with the same computer maybe dual booted to another OS? or, maybe a
different computer on the same internal network/router…what??

yes, i can ping my internet server and can browse my ISP’s home page but can’t browse any other sites. my computer is protected by the firewall provided by opensuse 11.0 but when i turned off my firewall, still face the same problem. one thing i want to tell u that i’m also using windows xp sp3 but there i’m not facing that kind of problem
This is nothing to do with the firewall
Just check the obvious in FF from the ‘File’ menu - make sure ‘Work Offline’ is NOT checked.

my “work offline” and IPv6 option is unchecked. pls tell me about some other settings to change
Tell us more about HOW you think you are connected to the internet? You mention being connected to a server but that does not necessarily mean you are connected to the internet.
i can browse my internet service provider’s home page. whenever i login to my server, it shows that i have successfully logged in. i’m getting reply from my server after pinging. even i can see my history of intenet usage in my account, but can’t open any website. it alwayas give me the message either “the page can’t be displayed” or “network problem”. i have already asked this problem to my internet service provider but they told me that’s my problem. there is some problem in settings but i don’t get the problem. you please tell me about the changes that i have to make in settings.
I believe you are running a server from home ? if so, make sure apache & php are running via YaST system services ( runlevel editor ) also, if you have a dynamic ip address from your isp,you will need to sign up for free redirects with something like dyndns or no-ip
