Rodolfo, thank you for telling me where to start. Below is the information
you asked for. I don't know what it means. But, I notice in /var/messages it
says "ip_tables" (even though I have the firewall disabled). And, something
about an unknown hardware address type(?)

The network card is a Netgear FA310tx (it worked fine in FC1, RH9). The
router is a Linksys BEFSX41. I upgraded the firmware tonight after this
problem started with FC2. It didn't fix the problem.

/var/log/messages
(I have removed the timestamp and "localhost" prefix from each line.)

(Most of the values below are from when I tried a static IP. But, it says
"DHCP." The "Network" panel shows "DHCP". The other values are greyed out.)
