It really wasn't displaying anything at all.  I made some changes to
the interfaces file and now it seems to work well enough.  I am still
having trouble with what i think is my dns though.  mozilla will wait
like 5 minutes on a site before opening it, all the while saying
'waiting for www.google.com' at the bottom left of the application. 
Any bites on this one?  Thanks for all the help everyone.  Also, I
just installed linux last week, so if I don't know about some of these
config files to run that are pretty standard, please forgive me.
