access the internet ok, on all levels.
firefox is working fine, web mail is all i can use
thunderbird/evolution/irc/yum/up2date cant access the net

Sounds to me like firefox might be using a proxy of some sort that the
other programs aren't. Double check that in its config. You can do a
sanity check as root with:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
To make sure your domain searches and dns servers are correct
ifconfig
To check your network interface settings are correct.
route -n
To check the routing is correct
iptables --list
To double check there really are no dangling rules left and default
policy should be accept.
