Kevin,

Can you run /sbin/lspci and post the portion regarding your network card?

There are issues with pcmcia and the order that the network card is 
loaded. Since you have a built-in ethernet, this is not likely.

The other issue that comes to mind is ipv6. I believe this might be an 
issue.

My idea is for you to open up system-config-network and see what type of 
device that kudzu might have detected. you might need to see if you can 
change some settings regarding the automatically discovery of your 
nameserver.

Can you ping the box from another computer with a static address? Does 
your computer get a dhcp address assigned if you have a router that uses 
dhcp? What does /etc/resolv.conf list as your nameserver? There should 
be the name of the server and a few ip address listings. Without a 
listing within this file, you are pretty much not able to connect to the 
web. you should stll be able to ping the computer from another on your 
network.

I hope this leads you to some resolution or you can provide more useful 
info for others to give you some feedback.

Regards,

Jim
