FC5 Updatihng FC4 - Network Problem

[Tom Callahan]

Sounds like an selinux issue.....

I'd set selinux to disabled and see what happens. Firewall is not turned 
off with system-config-securitylevel btw, use /etc/init.d/iptables 
<start|stop>
Make sure you turn the firewall back on though.....
Thanks,

A real engineer only resorts to documentation when the keyboard dents on the forehead get too noticeable.
