[Malvern] Internet settings.

I have a curious set-up problem.
As some of you know, I have three machines, all on a LAN.
One by one, I have been upgrading them from Woody to Sarge,
the idea being to get ahead of the rush when the change-over
occurs.
On the machine hostname "tren", no problem, running Sarge.
The machine hostname "gwy", is still running Woody OK.
I am using it now.
The troublesome one, hostname "hafren", is up-graded to Sarge.
The network settings all seem normal. It can ping the other two
and also the router.
However, on "hafren" I have failed to get either a browser (Mozilla) or mail
client (KMail) to work. They can't see the outside world.
Where is the best place to look ? The various GUI options have not yet
enabled me to make the break-through. I guess it is a config problem, but
where ?
I would guess that it is something common to both the mail client and
the browser. The LAN otherwise seems OK both ways.
I have tried copying the settings from "gwy" to "hafren", both of which run
KMail.
Any suggestions please ?
Geoff.
PS Tren= R.Tern, Gwy=R.Wye, Hafren=R.Severn- all in Welsh.
