Richard ,  Keep in mind that Fedora has a DNS problem beacause of IPV6.
I have to create a separate file in   /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf  and enter 
the line;

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

And I have to start  "dnsmasq" in Services

if you have extra ethx or wlan or what ever you have make extra files in 
/etc

The way you can tell if you have this problem is if you can't connect to 
certain websites through  yum or I couldn't even connect to NTP 
connections to get time, or connect to
RpmFusion.org. Don't pay any attention to how Firefox handles these 
websites it has it's own IPV6 setups.

Some Say if you check or uncheck the box in "Network Configuration" 
about using IPV6,
that will fix the problem.
