Internet Access Issues

I'm not new Linux but I am new to networking.

Some users are acting like root. With root I only have accessing to a certain number of sites and this is replicated with users with basic user rights. What can I do to change this?

Your post makes no sense.
The user has no affect on internet access.
Please be more specific.

Sorry about that I was in a rush.

I open up FireFox and goto http://www.wordpress.com. Instead of the website displaying I get problem loading page.

If you can load other websites, it is a problem with the wordpress site.
Your user has no affect on what websites you can browse.

I was thinking along the same line but when I go places like foxnews.com, cnn.com. usatoday.com, wwe.com, cad-comic.com & others. Mozilla will not load them. I'm putting more time into the issue and I'll update if I can figure out what is going on.

As much as I don't like using anything public over private. It's a little slow but this works. I had to change the nameserver from my local address to a public address.

To do this:

1) You open the /etc/resolve.conf
2) Change the nameserver to 8.8.8.8 (Google's public name server)

You can choose any public nameserver; my assumption. However I'm up for suggestions for public nameservers. I'll take this issue to another sub forum.

Well the nameserver entry must specify a working nameserver.

As a new user, I didn't know this. It took a minute or two to find this out. However it doesn't save. I have to change the nameserver each time I log in. I have to log in as root to change the nameserver.

There are 3 possible causes for your problem.
1. Your ifcfg files are incorrect.
2. Your local nameserver is broken.
3. You dhcp server is broken.
