python2 and network connectivity

So, I've been playing around with a few examples I've seen about using WebKit with python (pywebkit, gtk, and python2). 

I wrote a program called browser_test.py that follows the example shown here:

I'm running into an issue when I run the program as my regular user.  If I try to access a webpage WebKit's webview says it "Cannot resolve proxy hostname()".  However, if I run the program with the sudo command, I can access the webpage. 

It runs fine under Ubuntu 11.10 when I run it as a normal user. 

Any ideas on what's causing the network issue?
