Well, I'm looking for the host info in particular. Did you name your box or leave it localhost@localdomain?

well just for the info...
it should be "/sbin/ifconfig" instead of just "ifconfig" because /sbin is not in the path by default.
please post(copy paste!) these outputs , so we can help you ...

Try this :

$ ping fedoraforum.org
PING fedoraforum.org (70.85.88.134) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 70.85.88.134 (70.85.88.134): icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=108 ms
...
(ctrl-c to get out)

and

$ /sbin/ifconfig
(info)

If the ping doesn't work, does the fourth line for ifconfig of eth0 show UP? e,g;
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST

And did the ping by name work? google.com or fedoraforum.org should work. a little.

if you let 20 seconds of ping run, then ctrl-c out, are there any TX or RX errors in the ifconfig output? e.g;

The last message from ping should be something like :
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 42139ms

and ifconfig :

RX packets:8326229 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6259834 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
