Using Iceweasel, Google Chrome and Lynx I cannot access http;//www.debian.org or any of the mirrors without using an external web proxy. My isp says they can access fine on their own machines. My wife's
computer running Firefox on WinXP sp3 on the same connection also works fine. I have had to change my apt sources list as it was unable to access the
security updates. What's wrong with my machine.
I am running lenny current.

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
$ env | grep -i proxy
to see whether that is the case. Can you ping www.debian.org? Have you
tried editing your sources.list to use ftp:// instead of http://?

And additionally the following might show something interesting too.

Does it happen with any site or just some?
Is not the first time I've seen an ISP having troubles for accessing
specific websites/servers/network routes which can be only reached using
an external proxy or another connection (i.e., by dial-up session with
another ISP).
Give them a prudential time lapse and check later if the error still
persists.

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

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.

$ env | grep -i proxy
Nothing, even as root

to see whether that is the case. Can you ping www.debian.org?

Hmmmm is the security entry correct ?
All Web browsers Iceweasel, Chrome, Lynx still need outside proxy to access www.debian.org

Try, as root:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
You seem to have a default route for IPv6, but no connectivity, so if
you want IPv6, you could try to fix that.

ACK, that appears to be the problem. To make the sysctl setting
permanent, you need to edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add a line
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
