Description of problem:
I am having problems with multiple laptops running Fedora Core 2
completely updated.  When I use the machine on my work network,
everything appears to be functioning fine, but when I bring the
laptops home and connect them to my home broadband connection, I can
not render web pages and make ssh connections back to my work network
successfully.  The webpages will only begin to load but will not load
completely.  When I make ssh connections, after approximately 15-20
seconds, the ssh connections quit responding.  When I use WinXP
machines on the same home network, everything connects fine.  I have
disabled IPv6 after reading several other network issues but this has
not fixed the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora Core 2
2. Update with latest patches
3. Try to connect to network at work from home network.
    

Actual Results:  Unable to maintain reliable network connection to
work network.

as it seems to work a little bit, I guess that connection settings are
correct.
Does your Modem or whatever you use redial often?
