I have new fedora core 3 box which I am having a strange network problem with. I can not get out to the net while logged in. I can get to the machine via ssh and apache is serving pages to the outside world but while logged into the machine I can not get this page: [tomp at highwire ~]$ wget http://localhost --16:38:59-- http://localhost/ => `index.html' Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost[127.0.0.1]:80... failed: Permission denied. Retrying. Names resolve, ping works but I cant get out: [root at highwire ~]# ping google.com PING google.com (216.239.57.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.239.57.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=242 time=78.1 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.57.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=77.9 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.57.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=242 time=77.9 ms --- google.com ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 77.912/78.019/78.194/0.345 ms, pipe 2 [root at highwire ~]# telnet 216.239.57.99 80 Trying 216.239.57.99... telnet: connect to address 216.239.57.99: Permission denied telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Permission denied I get the same type of error when I ssh out. although I can ssh into the box fine.
