So, I just installed Fedora 12 onto a current model 15" MacBook Pro, and it's connected to the local network just fine, but I'm having a little trouble with the Internet. I can download new applications from the repositories, so I AM on the Internet, but it appears that the only website I can visit is Fedora's website. I cleared the cache and tried again and could still go to fedoraproject.com, but if I try to go to any other website, Firefox tells me I'm not connected to the Internet. I'm not an expert at Linux, so I would like to stay away from the command line if at all possible.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
P.S. I did try entering all the network information manually instead of using DHCP and still had no luck. -- Seth

I see two possibilities:
1) You are not connected to the Internet. When Firefox detects that there is no network connection, it will serve pages that it previously cached, out of its cache, but when you try to load a page that it has not cached, it will tell you that you're not online.
2) Firefox is not correctly detecting your network status, and falls back to offline mode, leading to #1. From the "File" menu, uncheck "Work offline", then try to browse to www.cnn.com, www.yahoo.com, www.foxnews.com, any page that you have not visited yet.

In relation to (2), Firefox detects it's online by asking NetworkManager. If NM thinks it's not online, that's what FF believes. NM will say it's not online when it's not managing the interface, even when the interface actually *is* online. The solution is to check the appropriate box in system-config-network.

I am connected to the Internet, because when I am navigating through Fedora's website I was able to start a download of Fedora, plus I deleted the cache, so it's not just using what it remembers.

As soon as I sent my last email I figured out what's wrong. :P Just to test something out I Entered in Google's IP address and it worked! So I think I've got a DNS issue here...

I didn't say you weren't connected, just that NM may have thought you weren't. This is a genuine issue even if it's not what happened in your case. It affects at least Firefox and Evolution, and possibly other apps.
