$ ping 74.125.57.100
64 bytes from 74.125.67.100 56(84)bytes of data
64 bytes from 74.125.57 100 1cmp seq 1 ttl=51 time 180 ms
and so on and on

$ping 209.85.171.100
64 bytes from 209.85.171.100 1cmp seq =1 ttl=24 time =199ms and so on and on

it seems to me that the internet connection with my provider is working
just fine and that the problem lies with firefox. John
