    Hi All,

    As the subject says, I'm getting an IP address assigned by the DHCP server
    on my network but I can't ping anything on the local network (nor can they
    ping me) and I can't see anything outside either.

    This is on a brand new fresh Fedora Core 2 installation (on a Toshiba Tecra
    8000 using a docking station for the NIC)
    The same hardware worked fine on FC1 - no joy after a fresh install using
    FC2 though - any suggestions?
