I've recently installed the latest version of Ubuntu on my computer, and it seems like I'm connected to the network, until I use the internet. I can ssh with no problem, and I even installed all of the updates (one was even a 18MB file). When I start up firefox, however, only google works, and it only works some of the time. I can enter queries and get the results, but when I click on the links to different pages, it never works. I always get a time out error (eventually).
I noticed some other people had this problem (here) and it seemed like the problem was that his MTU was set to 1500. I noticed mine was too, but I'm not totally sure this is the problem or how I go about changing it. Here's the output of /sbin/ifconfig Any help would be greately appreciated.
