You can try using the OpenDNS.com nameservers by adding these two lines to the top of /etc/resolv.conf:
Code:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

i am at work so don't know for sure if thats what i did or not, but i do remember adding those lines to one of my pc's. i got dnmouse.org to work by adding its ip address to the hosts file. once i finished installing software from DM, i removed its ip address from the hosts file, and removed DM via yum.
i still notice a swirling circle when i first open the browser (google is the default home page) last goes on for about 15-17 seconds, and this happens on both computers using fc11 and fc12. somehow i must have borked something up on my fc11 pc, because now it won't play music videos from
www.kzsn.com - i can play them via fc12, and via ubuntu on the pc that has fc11. maybe not worth worrying about.. i would rather get fc12 fine tuned, then install it on the second pc. i think ubuntu is using ipv6 on some of my pc's, and it seems to have less entries in hosts, resolv, and config files in general than fc, and seems to have less problems getting downloads to work. - or at least thats my somewhat educated or maybe uneducated observation in all this.. other than that, my next goal is to try and get the fc12 pc working with my wireless usb dlink dongle (ubuntu and puppy and xp all work with it, i just have never been able to get fc to work with it).. here again, i am pretty sure its capable, if i can just get through the correct install steps..

i also wanted to let DBelton know i did disable ipv6 (can't remember when/how), but am pretty sure i did, and thanks for his help.

I can't find those two ip's in the resolv.conf or hosts file.
this fc12 pc seems to do about everything i need it to. it takes at least 15 seconds to bring up the firefox screen (my fc11 pc brings it up in 2 sec, but then the swirly thing goes for about 15 seconds, so it seems to take just as long to be in a ready state, just different in what you see up front..
here is what i currently have in the fc12 pc files:
:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat local.conf
options ipv6 0
