<pre wrap=""><!---->First step is to isolate the problem. From the info you provide it is
impossible to determine where things are going wrong.
1. Isolate whether it is Firefox or a general networking issue. Try
elinks, ping, etc. to determine whether the box is getting past your
outbound router. If it is just FF, it would have to be picking up a
bogus proxy config from somewhere. Remember that besides the panel in
FF, GNOME has a proxy config control panel. I know Nautilus uses it,
but I haven't dug into RedHat's customizations to FF enough to say for
certain whether it looks at it or not.

I have installed lynx and I have similar problems, i.e. connection
failures when browsing the Internet (no problems when browsing intranet
sites).<br>
Same thing with wget so it doesn't appear to be a Firefox issue.<br>

The route command's output appears to be correct (from what I was told
- I am not a networking guru!):<br>

<pre wrap="">3. Is your dhcp server handing out addresses based on the mac address?
If so the fact Windows gets out would clear the question of some rule on
your firewall/outbound router being the problem. Otherwise each
partition could be getting a different IP assignment so you may need to
look at the outbound router's configuration.

I get the same IP address, regardless whether I dual-boot to WinXP or
to WBL so it seems that the dhcp server is handing out addresses based
on the mac address.<br>
<br>
In the mean time, I have installed White Box 3 Respin 1 on both
machines.<br>
<br>
On a Dell Dimension 4600, WB3 installs fine, detects all networking
hardware and gives a fully functional dhcp-managed connection. From
there, I can browse intranet or Internet with no difficulty.<br>
<br>
On a Dell XPS Gen 5, WB3 installs but does not detect the networking
hardware (it is a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit adapter) so it is
pretty much useless.<br>
<br>
So what is it about WB4 that is different? Why does WB3 give me a
functional connection on the Dell Dimension and WB4 does not?<br>
