Hi Joe,

I solved the issues by disabling ipv6 completely. Apparantly (see one of 
the earlier emails) the IP address depends on the continent you are on.

Also, while browsing some Fedora specific bugs. I found at least one 
issue that is in the process of being resolved and could have caused the 
problem. It had to do with an error in DHCP6 handling.  So I guess in 
time the problem will go away, as soon as the ipv6 stack matures a bit 
and all is integrated into my distro.

For the moment I am happy to disable IPV6 until the problem goes away.

Kind regards, Guus.
