Check your DNS settings, make sure resolv.conf points to a valid DNS server that you can access. I had the same problem, turned out I mistyped my DNS server. Console stuff (ftp, ping, telnet, etc) worked fine, but couldn't get a browser to do a darn thing.

what sholud reslov.conf & hosts have for gnome to acces the router/internet 
properly?

resolv.conf just has:

nameserver 192.168.1.254

hosts has:

::1 localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
192.168.1.3 VaioBSD VaioBSD.eircom.net


Can you do a lookup against that nameserver?

Something like:

        % nslookup - 192.168.1.254

        Default Server:  foobar.yournetwork.com
        Address:  192.168.1.254

        > yahoo.com
        Server:  foobar.yournetwork.com
        Address:  192.168.1.254

        Non-authoritative answer:
        Name:    yahoo.com
        Addresses:  66.94.234.13, 216.109.112.135

        > exit

I'd be interested in know whether or not that work
before hazarding any other guesses.
