I assume by "wall outlet" you mean an RJ45 port.

I assume you're using Fedora.  Which one?  F16, F17?

Could you post the output of two commands:
  # ip addr show
  # ip route show

Do it for each of the two cases:
  1. When you cannot access the internet (and you get the internal IP
192.168.0.114)
  2. When you can access the internet (you say that everything works
when you use
any other wall outlet).
