Fedora 5 LAN problem with WAN

[Joe W. Byers]

I appreciate your responses.

I can access the the outside world from both my other computers: a XP 
system and a RHEL4 linux server.

Using route -n I get the same results as is the output you list below. 
My linux server returns the last column as eth0 since it is connected 
through a cable.

This happens with the F5 box whether or not I have the firewall running 
or WEP enabled on the router, or any combination of these.

I feel like it is some small configuration problem because this HP 
machine worked fine with my network with Windows 98 running on it before 
I installed Fedora 5.

I have tried the KDE wifiwireless and it tells me no signal trying to 
find my Network.  I do not think this is correct because I have not 
moved the computer or the router and the wireless connection worked when 
W98 was on the machine.  When I scan for networks it shows the networks 
in the neighborhood that I have seen before.

If you tell what information might help us, I can pipe the command's 
results to a txt file and include them in a reply since I have samba 
working.  I just do not know what I need to look at anymore.

Thank you
