When I hook it up to our university network (within our department) the dhcp server provides me with an IP address but I cannot access the internet via our firewall which is running openBSD packet filter. If I turn the firewall off, then I immediately can get out. I have been using Suse since Suse 8.1 and have never had any problem with the packet filter firewall before. In fact, now I have two machines running Suse 10.1 and they peform fine. I can ping outside machines, but I cannot connect any website regardless of the web browser I use. ifconfig looks absolutely fine--it has to be an opensuse 10.2 --packet filter problem because as soon as the packet filter is disable I'm able to do anything I want. Again, I have never had this problem with any other Suse release.

Apparmor active?
Perhaps this tool blocks something?
