Hi Patrick,

I tried FF to start with, no joy.

Then logged in as root and tried '/sbin/service network restart', that all 
looked okay.

Then ping'ed 192.168.0.1, that was okay.

Then tried 'nsloookup www.google.com'

and 'whois www.google.com'

Both failed.

I am getting a 'network' symbol up on the top right of gnome next to my name 
with a red and white cross.

Clicking on it gives me a grayed out "Wired Network" option.

Firewall rules look okay as far as I can tell.

Thanks,

Aaron
