Problem with scanner and websites

[Nilesh Govindrajan]

I am having two problems with my system -

1. I can't open some sites like drupal.org ; etc.

I am using OpenDNS. Opening the site through a proxy works. But on my 
system, even lynx doesn't open it. Just keeps loading......loading.....

How to solve this ?

2. My scanner is available to root only

I have a USB printer cum scanner.

I can print with my user account but only root account is able to scan.

Even when I run the sane-find-scanner with my user account, it doesn't 
detect my scanner ; but it works with root account.

I have attached two files which have the output of the commands with 
each of the accounts. Please go through it and help me.
