I upgraded a desktop on the same ethernet switch and this problem did not go show up there (I am using that to write this email).
I should mention that the network on this upgraded laptop works fine when I take the laptop home and connect.
So what could be the problem? I have not had such an issue with installations and upgrades for 40.5 versions of Fedora (the 0.5 is for RH9 that I think I used mid-2003 to late 2003 before Fedora Core 1). How do I troubleshoot this?
Does the University use a Captive Portal?
