Thanks for the suggestion.  Forgive me, I'm quite the novice at this.  
How might I do the above in the absence of a term?

Does a reboot clear the dns lookup cache?  A reboot does not clear up 
my problem.

BTW, I've downloaded a second copy of the flash image file and got the 
same MD5 as the first.

Here is a bit more information:
1) the 770 browser works on web servers on my LAN
2) the 770 browser fails on internet sites even when I specify the IP, 
64.233.167.99 for google for instance.
