Hi, I'm a absolute novice to Linux and Fedora, so please bear with me.
On my home server, I replaced Windows Server 2008 with Fedora 9, because I was getting fed up with using Windows as a server altogether, and Fedora suited my needs. Everything seemed to work through the installation of Fedora, even the Internet, it downloaded some stuff I needed to install in Anaconda. But, Fedora itself is being a real pain with regards to the Internet. Everything should be set up correctly, as I CAN ping my other computers on the network (which brings me to another problem which I'll try to fix later), I can nslookup a few sites such as google.com and those sites I can nslookup I can access if I type in their IP in there, but the domain name doesn't work. One site that I searched in Google (can't remember name) even worked, so I guess a couple of domain names work. I have searched on Google, I have asked on IRC, I have tried everything. But it doesn't seem to work.
Hope you can help with my problem.
