I have been trying to follow this line of trouble shooting, but it
think it is above my pay grade.<br>
But I think you are right about the red-herring. I can ping any one I
have tried. I think that means my DHCP and DNS are OK.<br>
<br>

That looks promising. If firefox is cacheing a bad dns, then maybe
everything else would work OK except firefox. Maybe, if it cached a
google dns, it would work with the google stuff, which it does, but not
other sites.<br>
However, I also tried dillo, with the same unable to load result.<br>
I had an idea of how to check this. I booted the problem computer with
fc9 Live-CD. (I think that gives me all clean configuration files) and
I had the same problem and gmail still worked.<br>
<br>
I have connected the ethernet cable out of the modem to my old computer
( fc8). I tried to boot, which went OK, except the modem wasn't found.
I then powered down the modem and the computer, then powered them both
up and booted.<br>
It seems to work fine. (Maybe this computer works on saturdays)<br>
To me, it acts like hardware. Next I think I will try putting in an old
NIC that I have and see what happens.<br>

If he is having problems with reaching some websites and not others it
is a IPV6 DNS problem in Firefox , <br>
1. Do a <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:config">about:config</a> in Firefox URL and where it says "filter" at top
put this line "network.dns.disableIPv6 user set boolean true"<br>
W/O quotes.<br>
<br>
And double check down in body that it is entered correctly.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. In /etc make a file dhclient-eth0.conf and put in line, <br>
"prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; "<br>
W/o quotes<br>
<br>
If you have a eth1 or wlan0 , you will have to make a file for them,
just change the eth0 to eth1, wlan0, Etc.<br>
