Dear list, I have been using Redhat9 and Fedora Core1-4, with help from members on this list. Two days ago, I installed Fedora Core 5 and everything came up smoothly. Though the booting and shutting down is very slow. However, I have a serious problem, which I can not figure out at all. I can not access most sites on the web, using firefox or wget. These sites include mail.yahoo.com, and most importantly www.google.com, www.fedora.redhat.com. Mauriat Miranda's installation notes, among the ones I tried. stanton-finley.net is however accessible, but not all the sites he mentioned. Can someone please tell me what is going on? Where to look? I am using a Dell Latitude C840, with 512MB RAM. I am on an ADSL modem (Qwest Actiontec GT701-WG) which may be the problem, but am indeed very confused, because things "worked fine" two days ago. The modem theoretically supports linux, and my ISP does, I know that. Though they are not very learned, given that they probably field very few commands from Linux customers. Anyway, I have SELinux enabled to enforcing, and my router firewall switched off. I have had this setup for a while. I don't know what other information to provide, or where to look. Can someone please help? (By the way, I am typing this e-mail on my old nemesis, Windoze XP, in case you were wondering....) Many thanks and best wishes, Trotter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
