I can ping websites but can't get there via...

I'm running FC4 and networked straight from my box to my Qwestdsl modem. I have a firewall running (same firewall I used on FC3, which worked fine). I am natting my wife's Win2K box through my box to the net with no problems. But, on my FC4 box while I can ping outside websites yahoo; rootprompt; etc... I cannot web to them through any of the web browsers available to me on it, nor can I get there via links/lynx. Any ideas of what I should look for and in which log files to see what the problem is?

Hmm.. this is a long-shot, but have you checked /etc/resolv.conf? See if you've got the correct DNS servers in there (your wife's computer should have them if you don't know them). That could be the problem. Make sure your browser is set to 'direct connection to the internet' in the Connection Settings too.

HTH,

Yeah it was my /etc/resolv.conf. Apparently the dslmodem dhcp setup resolv.conf with the modem as the first nameserver and it was not responding properly, once I switched the nameservers around it worked famously. Thanks.
