Hello All,
     I have recently installed fedora core 2 test 2 on PC. Before this I 
was using Fedora core 1, and it working just fine and I no problem 
surfing internet. Now I can do everything, but surf the internet. It 
shows that it resolved the hostname, but eventually the web browswer 
times out. nslookup, ping for internal and external IP address is 
successful, so that means network is setup fine. ip_forward is also set 
to 1.

I am posting output of route and ifconfig commands. I  flushed iptables 
rules and still same results. I am wondering if anyone else has faced 
thsi problem and if it is ip MASQ problem. My connection looks like as 
follows :

Cable mode <-----> Netgear router <----> PC1 with fedora core
                                  |____> PC2 with windows (works fine)

Router (gateway) 192.168.0.1
PC1 : 192.168.0.2
PC2 : 192.168.0.3


I can do nslookup for pretty much anything.
nslookup www.umn.edu returned

Name  : www.umn.edu
Address ; 160.94.23.13
(and so on..)

Output of route command is as follows :

Output of ifconfig eth0 command is as follows
eth0   Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:HD:28:B6:FA

1. I flushed out iptable rules
2. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward has value "1"
3. IPv6 is enabled on my box ( i am not sure if that is causing the
problem)
4. Started mozilla and pointed to www.umn.edu and after long wait it
timed out.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again
