I had been struggling with this issue for months on my other Linux boxes, and finally discovered the solution.

If you install Ubuntu, and everything goes smoothly, but then you try to load google.com or yahoo.com or some of the other big sites in Firefox and nothing works, here’s the fix:

try disabling ipv6 if it is not already done by doing this:

gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases

find the line:

alias net-pf-10 ipv6

and replace with:

alias net-pf-10 off #ipv6

Oh yeah, and you’ll have to be root, so you may want to preface those gedits with sudo.
