Messed up my ISP/Networkmanager connection !?

[bruce]

hi william.

ok. for now, can you turn off/disable selinux...

and then reboot the box if you can... i want to start fresh on this.

as i understand this, you're running dhcp, right? where is the dhcp server
located?

Did as Bruce suggested. Still acts the same.
(Apologies to Bruce for not reading his post more closely.  Frustration
I guess)

I found the following:
/etc/hosts correct as I had changed back to 127.0.0.1

]# ifdown eth0 gave me a SELinux warning in permissive mode
]# ifup eth0

Determining IP information for eth0...dhclient(4380) is already running
- exiting.

This version of ISC DHCP is based on the release available
on ftp.isc.org.  Features have been added and other changes
have been made to the base software release in order to make
it work better with this distribution.

Please report for this software via the Red Hat Bugzilla site:
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com

exiting.
failed.

On rebooting network failed.
After rebooting:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts contained the old error
(192.168.1.3 rather than 127.0.0.1)
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 contained the old
error (DNS1)
etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 contained the old error
(DNS1)

Corrected them manually.  Rebooted. Still no joy.

Boinc and xchat work with no problem.
Evo starts offline. But when put online it works.
Neither FireFox nor Epiphany work.

Don't know I how to check my router setup or how to reset it
programmatically.  I can push the reset button or unplug it.

The 169.254.0.0 presumably is my ISP (Rogers Cable).

What now?
