Unable to browse the Web with Live CDs
The information contained in the only other thread I started:

... may or may not be relevant, but I figured it couldn't hurt. :)
Other relevant info:
Abit IX38QuadGT motherboard
Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC
Paradyne/Zhone 6381-A3 DSL modem/router combo
(DHCP is enabled)
Windows XP Home
I am thinking of eventually configuring a dual boot with Linux, but I want to play more with the live distros first. I am abale to surf the Web using Knoppix 5.1.1.
But I have problems with both Knoppix 6.0.1 (yes, I know that's not the most recent one) and Ubuntu 9.10 (that is the most recent one). It seems like I'm connected fine to the modem/router. And I am apparently connected to the Internet since I can ping various Web page URLs. But using a Web browser returns the "Unable to connect" message. And it's not a DNS issue since the same result occurs when I enter an IP address.
The newer CDs work on our network at work; Web browsing does occur with them. I'm guessing the issue is related to either my network card or router.
I could try the most recent Knoppix live CD, but since the latest Ubuntu CD is problematic, I have a hunch the latest Knoppix CD will have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I suspect that you might be running up against an ipv4/ipv6 conflict. This has been discussed in these forums many times before. Using the forum search feature should get you more details.
