<pre wrap="">I'm perplexed by a problem I'm encountering in K12LTSP fc6. Konqueror
browses the web without a problem with its proxy settings set to
"Direct Connection to Internet", while Mozilla Firefox fails to
function with the same setting. If I change Firefox's proxy settings
to "Automatic Discovery of Proxy", it will usually load Google, but
nothing else afterwards. Changing "System:Preferences:Network Proxy"
from Direct to Manual or Automatic doesn't appear to make a
difference.
Yum isn't successful connecting to the Internet either.
Why would Konqueror work, but nothing else?

Try traceroute <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.yahoo.com">www.yahoo.com</a> and see what happens. UNIX/GNU traceroute
uses one of the high UDP ports. If that works, then try telnetting
(from a terminal) to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.yahoo.com">www.yahoo.com</a> on TCP 80. I suspest that this
second step won't work. Any other boxes (UNIX, GNU/Linux, Mac,
whatever) that can Web surf on the same IP subnet that the K12LTSP
server's sitting on?<br>
