Questions:
 Why are you changing the IP address from the one assigned by DHCP?

 What other network connections do you have on the FC4 machine?

 Are you running a firewall?

 What is the output of "/sbin/route -n"?

A couple of things to keep in mind - first is that FC4 is no longer
supported. Second - You will not get usb0 unless the phone is
plugged in and turned on. You may also run into problem if you have
it plugged in at boot - you may have to unplug it, and plug it back
in again, or at least turn off the phone, and turn it back on.
