Connectivity Problem with multiple apps

[optigrab]

I don't remember what I did, but multiple programs (ie: software update, itunes, twitterific, adium) wont even try to connect to the internet. I can't figure out to see what the problem is. Other programs work fine (ie: firefox, mail, WoW) but these others simply wont connect anymore. I ran onyx, but that didnt fix anything. If anyone has some suggestions or advice please feel free!

You probably set up a proxy of some kind. Start with Safari -- Preferences -- Advanced -- Proxies and clear them out (or set it up like Firefox, which you said works, has it).
