SLED 11 on an HP 2133

I can't figure this out. SLED 10 SP2 worked perfectly on this device.
With SLED 11 it seems Firefox stalls out on many sites. The whole OS was
installed via PXE using the tg3 ethernet driver and I am able to add and
remove packages using the installation server I set up on SLES 10. I am
connected using ethernet and I can open up SSH and VNC connections to
other computers on the network without issue. I can go to the Google
website and search, but many websites such as Novell don't work... it
seems the site starts to load and then stalls out. Frustrating.

Not impressed with the polish of SLED 11 really. SLED 10 seemed to have
the edges smoothed out more than SLED 11 does. For example the IceWM and
TWM dropdown on the login screen... who is the target audience?
