I would say the problem has little to do with your install (except that 
it got you where you are).  Bad proxy config sounds reasonable, or you 
have some other network problem.  Duplicate IP addresses, bad DNS 
settings, bad DHCP settings (client or server), bad default gateway (or 
other routing), etc.

There's a lot you could check and if you know your network you might 
start checking all the settings you can find and see that they are right 
or wrong.  Perhaps using Ethereal to compare a Konq session and a 
Mozilla session would point you in the right direction.
