I had the same problem. Locally, we have some network security features
installed that prevent direct access to http and ftp address by any
program. We can run Netscape as it uses a proxy server.

Try running Netscape on your machine without the proxy server to see if
you can download off site web pages. If you can't then you'll need to
see your sysop about it.
