In an attempt to isolate further, I examined everything that is unique
to this environment. So I replaced the NetGear Ethernet to Wireless
Bridge which was between the suspect PC and the DSL modem (which is
wireless). Guess what? All is well. That's right. We are running
much better now. I have installed F10 to a hard drive and am now
getting updates.
NOTE: Only Fedora variants seem to have a problem downloading things
through the Netgear bridge. Fortunately I have an alternate
bridge ( Buffalo brand ) to use.
Happy now. I have resolved the problem, but since only Fedora has a
problem talking to the Netgear WGE101, I can't say it is fixed as far as
Fedora is concerned. I'm not gonna worry about it any more.
Thanks for reading...
