ok i have had a connection for about 45 minutes No problems. open a new tab, go to a site, and firefox sits there and does nothing. But on the current tab that I'm in, i can browse the page just fine. open the terminal and pinged my router ok. tried to ping google reply of unknown host. Is the google site experiencing problems or is it just me? the page that I'm currently viewing in Linuxquestions.org, and can browse that entire site without a problem, as soon as i try to leave it, i get the super long looking up what ever url I try. e.g www.google.com So is DNS messed up?
Looks that way, given that you can still ping external IP addresses by address.
All this is from a Wireless Connection
/etc/resolv.conf ; generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
; Use a local caching nameserver controlled by NetworkManager
search rochester.rr.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1

[root@JimsNotebook ~]# ping -c4 www.yahoo.com ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
At this point it would be useful to try "dig @127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com" to see what response (if any) your local nameserver provides. dig is part of the bind-utils package.
If the response is "connection timed out; no servers could be reached", the nameserver isn't working.
