FC4 internet connection

[captnemotx at netscape.net]

Hi,
I'm new to the list so my question may have been answered previously.  
I just upgraded from FC2 to 4.  I've got an IBM clone computer with an 
Abit KT7A Raid motherboard, 1GB of RAM, AMD Athlon 1GHz processor, DSL 
connection to the Internet with a D-Link DI-604 Broadband/Ethernet 
router connecting 4 computers on my home network.

After I finished upgrading to FC4 I tried checking for updates by 
running up2date but got error messages.  Checking further, it appears 
that the machine is not connecting to the Internet (I can't call up any 
other Web sites).  I checked the Internet Connection Wizard and it is 
only giving me the option to connect using a static IP Address rather 
than an automatically obtained address using DHCP (which I had been 
using under FC2 just fine).  I *do* have a static IP Address and 
usually run an Internet/e-mail server on another computer but it has 
been down lately due to hardware problems).  The Ethernet card in the 
machine shows to be active.

Any suggestions?  Thanks for any help.  You may e-mail me direct if you 
wish.
