I have a dell poweredge server 2950 which i Redhat Linux 6 is installed on. im trying to connect to the internet but im not able to browse although the Networking ICON at the far top right on my Monitor says its connected.

1) Can you ping 8.8.8.8?
2) Can you ping google.com?

If you can ping 1) but not 2) then you have a DNS issue - ie IP's aren't resolving to DNS names.

If you can ping both, but you can't browse, then there is an issue with the browser. Clear the cache etc on the browser and/or use install a different browser.
