I have already complained about this before but did not get a clear solution. This is getting to be a pain for me!

I just created another user but this new user is unable to browse sites and getting 'unknown host' error messages instead. The non root user(knoppix user) created during hd install works ok. I even tried to make the groups for the new user the same as for the knoppix user but no effect.

Can somebody please teach me how to solve this probelm once and for all?
