Failed to Connect
Iceweasel can't establish a connection to the server at www.debian.org.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a
connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network
connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?
Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Hmmmm is the security entry correct ?
All Web browsers Iceweasel, Chrome, Lynx still need outside proxy to access
