Yes the ONLY problem is that a F7 that was working just fine all by

When it got to a point I could operate the SELinux control panels I
tried to turn SELinux off. To see what happens. Well just now looking at
dmesg the dam SELinux is not turned off! So what is the best way to make
sure this thing is turned off?

What you are describing is almost surely a matter of your host not being
able to resolve its own name. Nothing whatsoever to do with SELinux.
Post the contents of your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf files.
I'm betting good money that localhost does not resolve.
