I can ping rpmfusion.org and linuxtoday.com , but I can't get through to 
them on Firefox.

I also did a dig on lxer.com , linuxtoday.com , rpmfusion.org and I can 
get Server IP on all three.

I checked /etc/resolv.conf and Domain and nameserver is set up as it 
should be , The router gateway.

I have a FC8 box that is not having this problem.

I have a laptop setup with FC10 and it's having the same problem as the 
PC box FC10 with Firefox.
