Do you have any sort of firewall in the way, either on the fedora box or elsewhere? You can disable the one on fedora (just to see if it is causing the problem) with:
# iptables -F
Can you ping www.google.com, some sites no longer reply to pings (eg www.microsoft.com) but google still does.

Hi Imran. Are you on broadband or dialup
for your Internet connection. Is the
machine your on directly connecting to the
Internet,or are you going thro a LAN.
Sounds a bit like a DNS problem to me.Mekon
