Using Iceweasel, Google Chrome and Lynx I cannot access http;//
www.debian.org or any of the mirrors without using an external web proxy. My
isp says they can access fine on their own machines. My wife's
computer running Firefox on WinXP sp3 on the same connection also works
fine. I have had to change my apt sources list as it was unable to access
the
security updates. What's wrong with my machine.
I am running lenny current.

I guess you meant to write "http://" instead of "http;//".

What error message do you get?

And what is the exact error message Iceweasel shows? I am asking because
I suspect you may have a global proxy configured somewhere and the
message would indicate that. You can also try

$ env | grep -i proxy

to see whether that is the case. Can you ping www.debian.org? Have you
tried editing your sources.list to use ftp:// instead of http://?

And additionally the following might show something interesting too.

# find /etc/apt -type f -exec grep -i proxy {} +
