This question will sound very n00b like but bear with me..
This is what happened:
1) I bought and installed Mandrake 8.2 Power Pack edition

2)I happily used the included opera version
3)Then I installed Netsape 6.2 (dunno why)
4)Opera stopped working :-(
5) Opera could no longer access remote WWW pages.
6) I reintalled the latest Opera version to no avail.
Now, I dont relly know what happened and would appreciate sum help.
ps. Wintel will eat your children.
