I've just downloaded the lastest kernel for Fedora Core 3 version 2.6.12. I am unable to get out to the internet. All other services work fine (ie traceroute, ping, nslookup) but when I open up a browser, I cannot get to the web. So far I've disabled iptables but that doesn't appear to be the problem. I've checked permissions on the resolv.conf file. Root has read/write permissions on the file. I also have the 2.6.9 kernel as well and checked the permissions but they are the same on both kernels. If anyone has any ideas please advise.

Are you saying you have just updated the kernel or did you install FC3 from scratch?

Is this workstation or server on a LAN? When you do traceroute, ping and nslookup, you do access servers outside your LAN, don't you?

Just a guess: is your browser set to use a proxy by any chance? Can you browse inside the LAN, e.g. to the admin interface of your router or firewall, or is this workstation or server connected directly to the net?
