Are you using the default ports, or are you running below port 1027, linux by default prevents access to ports below 1027 if you are not root, but you should just get a low id if this is so.

What version are you using rc8 cvs?

Did you compile this yourself or did you use a rpm?

Firewall / router?

Can you access the internet from a web browser from the "non root" account?

I would try to compile or get a hold of at least rc8 and try that and see what happens;  I don't remember what the issue was that I had with rc7, but this made it unusable (at least for the distribution I was using at the time.).

Oddly and I don't know if this is related, but if you compile FireFox in linux as root (sometimes) it won't let you run it as any other user; it pumps out errors in a non ending loop.

Also there were some internet access issues with various packaged versions of WX, if the above dosn't work, you may want to try to compile wxAll yourself.

Hope this helps :)
