Hi,
this is not very links-specific, but maybe you have the answer I'm looking for.
I'm having some problems with my wireless lan, firefox and opera are unable to visit any website. The strange thing is that links works perfectly. How is it possible? Is there any difference in the way links and firefox retrieve a webpage? 
The ping command works too (i tried to ping www.google.com), but firefox and opera don't, and my email client doesn't work...

any idea?
thank you all
