Acer AspireRevo (nettop) R1600 Network problems

I bought an Acer AspireRevo (nettop) R1600 and for some reason, i can not goto any other webpage besides www.fedoraproject.org

yum was able to update. after failing on a lot of mirrors..

I have this problem with the Fedora 11 and 12 Live i386 booted from SDcard created by liveusb-creater

NetworkManager seems to work, as the device is present, connects, gets an IP using dhcp, then i open firefox, the fedoraproject start page opens just fine, but no other domain, not even these forums... i can browse fedoraproject.org this is a very weird problem to me...

i can talk to my local netrwork (other pcs) an fedoraproject.org only

Fedora is using the forcedeth driver, specs abotu the pc can be found here

Issue relsoved, it was an issue with Firefox trying to use IPv6, i went to "about:config" typed in "network" for a filter and changed "network.dns.disableIPv6" to true. Now all my domain are loading very fast, like normal.

Now to get the NVIDIA driver to compile and load.
