Fedora Core 2 - Can't get mail, download or browse web pages

[Lane Inman]

Thank you very much Peter;
  Yes, I have reset mozilla a number of times (even rebooted - although 
I shouldn't have to).  Yes:
I can use wget http://firestuff.org/projects/ecncheck-0.9.6.tar.bz2 and 
it works;
mozilla does not work, neither does lynx.
