Any clues? > > > System config: > FC4-x86_64 > Asus K8N-E Deluxe motherboard with Nvidia NFORCE 250Gb chipset > Athlon 64 3200+ I made a network reconfiguration and did the "service network restart" gig. I, too, noticed problems. The broadcast mask was mangled. So I did an "ifdown eth0" followed by an "ifup eth0". This restored full connectivity. You might check if this happens for you, too. Then file a bugzilla with your findings. {^_^}
