I've just completed an upgrade from FBSD 4.4 to 4.8. I've got a cable connection to my ISP. Under 4.4, I could use Lynx w/out any problem. Under 4.8, I can use Lynx as root, but not as an ordinary user. I can ping and nslookup w/ either account. It is only w/ the user account that I have problems with http. The Lynx error message is "Unable to connect to remote host", or something similar. This occures w/ and w/out a firewall, and w/ and w/out local DNS, and w/ and w/out NAT. I assume that there's a permissions problem somewhere, but I have no idea where. I've spent a day searching on- and off-line documentation and playing w/ the system, but haven't found the cause. Can anyone give me any tips on tracing the problem? Bob Hall
