You say ping, trace, and name resolution all work. So what's not working?
Just web browsing and news? Don't miss the forest for the trees. In cases
like this, it's usually something much simpler than a low-level kernel
error. If ping and traceroute work, then the routing is fine. Packets get
out and find their way back. If name resolution works, then you are
conencting to your ISP's DNS server (I assume you performed a ping by name
to check this, i.e. ping www.yahoo.com).
Soooo, if it's just news on that maching that's not working, then it must be
something particular to the news client. Maybe resinstall the news client?
