I will have to admit the behavior of this system is very bizarre. I tried booting the 32 bit live CD just to see if I could configure the network. (I had previously rebooted but it had not fixed the problems.) I had originally tried the live CD which had booted and had a working X display by default. (When I installed the 64-bit I had to use "linux vesa" to get a usable display for installing.) Now when I try the live CD I get a corrupted display that is unusable. I tried a bunch of kernel parameters to no avail to the point that it would just hang. At one point it could not find the root file system on the CD. So then I went back to just rebooting F10 from the hard drive. This also failed! I tried turning the system completely off (several times). So I finally got F10 64-bit to boot from the hard drive to which it had been installed yesterday by using "rescue" on the install DVD. It asked me at some point if I wanted to put in network info so I did. Once I got out of rescue and it rebooted, miracle of miracles it rebooted, had a useable display, and NOW the networking is working - I can view web pages and update and install packages. There may be some hardware problem with this 4+ years-old system or some hardware quirks that I need to totally turn the system off before re-booting. I guess the comments about enabling/disabling NetworkManager and network not being enough are appropriate also.
