Thanks again for your time. I copied the DNS1, DNS2, and DNS3 addresses from my router settings into the FC5 network admin gui, and also copied the ISP's domain name from the router settings into the FC5 network admin gui, saved the settings, restarted the network service, and FC5 now has access to the internet. Why didn't FC5 pick them up automatically? Will I have to do this the next time I re-boot? Thanks again for your time.
