Output of lspci, /etc/modprobe.conf, ifconfig -a and iptables -L -v please.

Anything else would be a complete stab in the dark for us.

Oh, and please leave out the whole "I'm afraid I have to switch" speech, 
I've been seeing a lot of it lately and it's getting a bit old. If FC3 
is not for you then by all means try something else. Nobody will tie you 
down to keep you here.

FC3 is the latest bleeding edge release I know of, and with that, you 
WILL get some quirks.

This list was designed to help people with that.

So, let me help you...try the above commands and see if anything weird 
pops up.

Ed.
