Hello, I have a wireless network and a linux laptop with an orinoco driver for my eth1 wireless device.
I can connect to the network and I can successfully ping any IP. When I go to the browser and try to go to ANY site, I get a blank page returned with no errors that has the following html:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title></title></head><body></body></html>

when I go ifconfig I get this:

eth1 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:CE:03:B3:04
inet addr: 192.168.2.13 Bcast: 255.255.255.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe23::482:caff:fe02:b231/64 Scope: Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric: 1
RX packets: 283 errors:0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0

collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 1000
RX bytes: 77222 (75.4 KiB) TX bytes: 11549 (11.2 KiB)
Interrupt: 10

I know my wireless network is good, other computers can access the net and I can connect to my friend's wireless network and have the same result (blank pages)

Any help would be appreciated.
this is getting frustrating

For troubleshooting, I'd see if you can really get to the web. From the command line, type lynx www.yahoo.com, hit Enter and see if it brings up Yahoo. Of course, I'm assuming you have lynx installed.

Assuming that your laptop has an wired ethernet port, what happens when you surf with it?

Which browser? Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Dillo, Netscape...?
Are you using a proxy at all?

Are you using a DNS server? Either directly or via DHCP from your wireless router?

When you ping, can you ping by name & IP, or just by IP?
