Help: No internet connection

[Simon Schneebeli]

No difference with or without firewall. But I discovered something else:

Here's what happens:
- I start my computer and connect to the wireless: Firefox and 
Thunderbird can not connect to the wireless but Opera can.
- I plug in the Ethernet cable. Now all connections work, with or 
without firewall.
- I deconnect the cable and connect again through the wireless. Now both 
programs do connect properly.
