I have notice on Linux (ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn) that it can't get internet to all of the programs. It can only get internet with Aim (under Gaim/Pidgin) and IRC. No internet with firefox, msn and yahoo (also under Pidgin). I do not know what to do. My computer with the linux partition also has windows with a dual boot setup. The windows and linux partition shares the same IP. But Windows can get internet with any programs. Side note, I can get internet with Ubuntu on different router just not Netgear,

Has anyone notice the same problem as me?
