Does this error still occur if you do as root:

/sbin/service iptables stop

If the error no longer happens then your firewall is not permitting
browsing to occur. You may use redhat-config-securitylevel to disable
the firewall.



Comment 2 Mark Chaffee 2004-07-19 15:01:08 UTC
Yes it is still happening.  I stopped the iptables service and still 
got the same message. I've done some inet research and there seems to 
be others with the same problem and that solution didn't work for 
them either.  Any other ideas?
