My problems with FC2 test1

I installed FC2 test1 and had a few problems. My system is an Athlox
XP2100+ on an Asus A7V133 motherboard. The ethernet connection is an IBM
e100. The soundcard is a Yamaha ymf754. My boot hard drive is in a
removeable CD caddy because I fiddle with kernel development and other
projects which have the potential to destroy file systems. Good backups
and the ability to quickly swap systems keep me going. I have several
comments.
1. The system was unable to configure/use my sound card. I get no sound.
I am not sure what the problem is as I haven't really had a chance to look
into it.
2. My system has Internet connectivity through a cable modem hooked into
a Linksys router. When I attempt to contact the router by entering its ip
address into Mozilla I get connection a connection refused message.
3. I am using the GUI tools to configure network settings, just as I do
in FC1. If I configure a static ip address I get no Internet
connectivity. ntpd fails at startup, and I get name resolution failures.
I cannot get past my internal network. Reconfiguring things using dhcp
results in a working connection. Before you ask, yes I do configure the
right gateway and DNS parameters. The corresponding actions in FC1 work
as expected.
4. Using up2date gives me unresolvable dependencies for libgstgconf and
libgstreame for updates on nautilus-media. Removing nautilus,
nautilus-cd-burner, and nautilus-media doesn't help get past this. I
recall there was a discussion about this earlier, but I don't have that on
hand. Attempting to access the mailing list archives gives me a URL
unavailable error.
Can anyone offer suggestions on the above?
