Hey all I am having a weird problem that stumps all the IT guys I have talked to. Ok, whe I take My FC5 box to work, I can use the internet fine there no biggie. I bring it home and I cant use it. Heres what Ive done:

nslookup: on all websites, success
ping: all websites, success
I can run Yum fine
As soon as I open my browser poof nothing, catch this:

I use My computer in Windows it works fine at home, my fiance's computer works fine (both running Firefox, same as my linux distro)

So why would t work there and not here, proxy is off, and I have my comp set up through the DMZ (thinking it might be an actiontec firewall block) and tried it with iptables flushed. still nothing. Qwest believes its not a problem on their end, I think it is, I was told try changing the header (user agent) but despite trying wasnt able to get it to take it (any Ideas helpful.

I have posted this question on many forums and hope to have better luck with this one.

Thanks Yall

Can you try this

in one session run a tcpdump
Just type
tcpdump -lx

In other session type

nc yahoo.com 80

If you get a new line to type, type
GET

see if you get the home page of yahoo.

If you dont get anything but come back to come prompt
take the tcpdump output and post it.
You can check the output as to see if any connection was initiated,etc.

This is just a try anyway.

Thanks Ill try that when I get home, like I said it works fine here at work, dont know why

You need to check your proxy. Usually is set to direct connection to the Internet. I am sure your is set to something else at work, and when you get home, you need to change to direct connection.

In Firefox, to go to:

option
general
connection settings

Ok, I already had it connected directly through firefox, not the problem, I solved it though, I had my actiontech modem set as primary dns- it was set by dhcp, and my comp was sending a request and the modem would say not valid, and so my comp stopped looking. I removed it, set it to the DNS server addresses manually and now everything works fine
