Dear,
I am Fahim Murshed. I am From Bangladesh. I am a Linux Distro user from 2006. Last year till i am using openSUSE 11.3. Recently i get a problem, When i enter a link My Firefox redirect to iwsearch.net (Infoweb). I install it few days ago. I this its my Browser (Firefox) problem! But I install Opera, Chrome no change same problem. This is very annoying. Too much pain for me. Please help me. How to remove iwsearch.net.
Also another request to openSUSE Network Manager developers, Please add a options on Wired Connection. The options is Original MAC and Cloned MAC like Ubuntu 10.10 (Gnome), But i need it on KDE, because now i fall in love to KDE. So, i need (i think most of users need) MAC cloned systems, My ISP conection is MAC systems. Pain for change from Command mood I don’t like to change from Konsol.
We have two Wimax provider- banglalionwimax.com and qubee.com.bd , We are whole Linux user in this Bangladesh can’t using USB modem, only Support Gigaset Modem. Its Indoor modem. But USB modem is portable and flexible. Please its hard request do something for USB modems.

sounds like a DNS problem, probably with your ISP, or maybe your entry
point to the net (wifi?)
are you behind a proxy? or, say on a campus or office complex which
controls where you can surf to?
please show us the output of entering the following into a terminal
tail -4 /etc/resolv.conf
and copy/paste the output back to this thread using the instructions

My guess is that your ISP is using this as a default page when it can’t
resolve the DNS name for a site you’re trying to visit.
That’s a very common practice for ISPs; the only way to get around it is
to use another DNS provider, assuming your ISP hasn’t blocked connections
to other DNS servers (which some do).
Unfortunately as You said it’s not there in knetworkmanager. You can set it up using ifup and turn off NetworkManager but I guess that’s not what you’re after. So as far as I know You have to use GNOME or control your network with ifup.
I think You could also use the GNOME NetworkManager applet in KDE but I guess You will have problems with integration. I don’t know much about this type of configuration as I have never used it.

I’m going to guess it is coming from your DNS provider, so an updated
version isn’t likely to fix it for you either. Try changing the DNS
settings in YaST’s network settings (you can manually set it there).

That’s also something you should be able to do through YaST in the
network settings. Changing the MAC address requires root permissions, so
you won’t get that through Network Manager.
Keep in mind current world events. I don’t know how stable Bangladesh is and how much control the government may have over the Internet in your country but many countries are directing their ISPs to modify traffic for a variety of reasons.
Perhaps the most telling things to try are to do DNS lookups and PING various sites you wish to connect, then a Reverse DNS lookup (if it’s not already revealed in the PING) to determine if you’re really being routed to your intended destination or somewhere else. If you can connect to Google, Google can be your friend verifying proper IP addresses.
If you can verify you’re resolving remote sites correctly. then you can consider how your own machine is configured. You should know that like all other OS, openSUSE supports a system level proxy which is normally configured through YAST (although can be circumvented). When connecting to websites, the browser may support an Application Layer proxy, Firefox is an example where within Firefox you can configure proxy connections which won’t affect connections using any other application or protocol.
I don’t like to change from Konsol.
