Just loaded RH Enterprise Linux 5/Browser/IM not working

All

I just loaded RH Enterprise Linux 5 and the installation went smoothly. I am behind a DSL router and I can ping/ssh/telnet to machines on my local network as well as machines at remote sites. DNS seems to be working. but the browser and IM (AIM) cannot connect and time out.

Any insight would be appreciated

It's that 'DNS seems to be working bit' that you hav't mentioned your tests for it to be working
I assume you've set it up (manupulating /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf) & run a 'nslookup www .unix.com' as a test.

Assuming all this it might be worth placing one of the ISP Provider's DNS Server settings in your resolv.conf
