I don't use FC5 so if it is different, then someone else may correct me.
In my /etc/modules.conf on FC4 I have
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
which may be the same for FC5.
As I understand it, ipv6 can cause problems with DNS servers that are
not configured to work with V6.
This isn't just a Linux issue.
