thanks, but it did not make a difference.

my setup below if it matters.
(DSL)-->(802.11b router)--|--->(100mbps link to eth0)
        (DHCP+firewall )       (with crossover cable)

Similar problem was experienced with an rhel clone, and was never solved
with my limited knowledge as i stopped in favor of FC6

why is it that some web pages work but others never load?

thanks again for your time. :)
