Yeah i realize the configuration is odd but i am planning to put a small
linux based firewall in soon, so for now i don't really want to change it,
since i will be changing it again in the near future. Yes i was also
mistaken it is a router not a switch. But like i said before i can ping the
router and the xp computer and even some sites but i can't physically see
them in a web browser. when i type in a site like www.google.com it doesn't
do anything in the browser and just displays "done" in the bottom left hand
corner, I have tried different web browsers and my instant messenger program
cant connect either. Maybe i am just not understanding what you guys are
saying. Also the internet did work fine before i performed the first
up2date. After that i have been having these problems. It seems like some
type of software or bug issue to me but maybe i am wrong. Thanks for all the
help.

I just made a fresh install of Fedora Core 3 last night and this
morning found that i couldn't access the internet. I run my internet
connection through a windows system and into a switch, and it (the
windows system) uses DHCP. What i found through more testing is i could
ping all the computers on the lan and even sites on the internet, like
google and msn. If you could help me out that would be great thanks!

I think we need a little more clarification about what you are doing.
You imply that this used to work before update to FC3. Is this true?
What was your previous OS.
You say, " I run my internet connection through a windows system ".
Do you mean that the windows system has two interfaces and is somehow
routing packets to your FC3 system? What exactly is the configuration
of these machines.

Do you really use a switch, or do you use a router? If you
really use a switch, then you need the XP machine there for
some sort of firewall. I'd suggest replacing the switch with
a router (you can get them for < $40 USD these days), and
putting the XP machine behind it. You'll likely have less
exposure that way.
If you are running a router, then it is not a normal setup.
You are using the XP machine as a bridge. My suggestion would
be to put the XP machine behind the router.
The setup I use is:
PSTN ETH ETH
ISP<----->ADSL Modem<------>Router<--+----->Machine 1
|
+----->Machine 2
This is a normal setup, and lets the router do its job.
I think that if you do it this way, you'll have more joy.
You'll need to replace the PSTN connection with your cable
connection, and the ADSL Modem with your Cable Modem.
Do you really have a switch, or d
