And what is the exact error message Iceweasel shows? I am asking because
I suspect you may have a global proxy configured somewhere and the
message would indicate that. You can also try
Failed to Connect
Iceweasel can't establish a connection to the server at
www.debian.org.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
$ env | grep -i proxy
Nothing, even as root
to see whether that is the case. Can you ping www.debian.org?
