Tor killed my other browsers; Name or service not known; uninstalling does not help

Hi All,

Fedora 34
Xfce 4.14

I am in real trouble here.  My business is most shutdown over this.
My browsers, Thunderbird, and ping won't work. Nothing
that used the Internet worked.  Well, almost.

I can not find anything about this issue on Google or Duck Duck Go.

After installing Tor yesterday, all was well.  Tor Browser worked well
and all my other browsers and eMail  continued to work
along side it.  I was happy.  But that was about to change.

After booting up this morning, only Tor Browser and Brave in Tor mode
worked.

ALL my qemu-kvm virtual machines work perfectly (I am writing this 
from one of them and I despise web mail).

`host xxxx`   worked.
      $ host gbis.com
      gbis.com has address 207.228.37.200
      gbis.com mail is handled by 0 mx.greatbasin.net.

`ping host-name`  did not
     $ ping gbis.com
     ping: gbis.com: Name or service not known

If I look up the IP address with "host" and used that instead,
`ping IP` worked.   All my browser also worked with the IP
address.  "traceroute" only works with IP as well.

So I removed Tor:
    $ rm -rf ./.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US
    # dnf remove tor torbrowser-launcher torsocks
    $ rm -rf ./.local/share/torbrowser
    $ rm -rf ./.cache/torbrowser
    $ rm -rf ./.config/torbrowser
    # rm -rf /etc/tor

Reboot.  No change.

What the <expletive deleted> is going on?  And how do I recover
my machine?

Many thanks,
-T
