Hello everyone

First of all I want to let everyone know that I'm not very familiar with OS X so
please bare with me.

I just got a Powerbook G4 15 1GHZ, this is my first apple notebook, last year I got the iMac as soon as they came out, and I have been using it for home use (office, internet browsing, cd burning, etc)

At home I have DSL connection shared through a Windows XP and a Wireless network.
I was able to set up the airport network and everything worked ok from home, file sharing, computer browsing, internet browsing.

I took the computer to work where I am going to use the built ethernet, I gave the computer a fixed ip address, configured the DNS, the router but here is where my problems start, with the configuration I set up (basically the same as my home configuration) I am able to browse the network (windows domain computers), I am able to use MSN messenger (so I know I have internet access), I
can ping any web addres (example, if I ping www.fark.com , I get the name resolved and get response from the server) but I cannot get the pages to load in
safari, or internet explorer.

Anyone out there have an idea?

Thanks

Does your network at work have a web proxy?

You have to use a web proxy?

Ok, now that we are all bare...

It's the Only Way. mmmmm... Wish I could do it at work, but they're
too conservative. <sigh>

I say I don't have an idea :)

Could be worse. At least you don't tell yourself to get a real computer!

Sorry but I've been working with Windows since the beginning, and I could get almost everything to work in OS X, so this just has me thinking a lot about it,
and reading everywhere but no fix yet...

Now I've really got to *think*. A challenge!

We do have a firewall, but this address has access to go outside of it..

why would messenger go through and connect and send files and text?

If configure it to use our web proxy I get an authentication error

I would suggest that there's a firewall at your office blocking your web >access.
