Opera has no problems, Firefox would not access the internet, but could access my router, until I disabled IPv6 in its configuration, BOINC cannot access the internet and neither can wget.  YUM is having problems with the mirrors and cannot access RPMFUSION at all.  I am having the same problems whether I am using my Router at home (not IPV6 capable) or using Internet sharing on my cell phone.  IPV6 is not enabled in my network hardware profiles, but given the problem was ironed out with firefox by disabling IPv6 for it I am wondering if similar things are happening with BOINC and wget.  Any insights would be gratefully received.

I just commented it out of /etc/nsswsitch.conf after quite a bit of
googling.  

In my case, I'm not sure if it's because I added, on an x86_64 box, the
chromium repo, which installs several i586 packages.  The only things
that seemed to have anything to do with it that was installed today was
avahi-glib.i586 and, of course, nss-dns.i586

HOWEVER--I'm unable to reproduce it on another x86_64 machine, and even
trying to backtrack and reproduce it, I was unable to do so. Therefore,
I have to put it down to one of those oddities that isn't affecting many
people.
