I downloaded the 4 iso mages for Fedora Core 2.0 using the links at LinuxISO.org and installed it today on the box that was previously running Fedora 1.0. The install went smoothly but things got very wierd after that. When I clicked the link in Mozilla for the red hat site it took me to the about page of some cattlemens association. Yahoo and google worked fine but mozilla.org took me to a wierd site as did mysql.com. There has to be some kind of DNS spoofing going on and my first suspect would have to be my router, but why are my windows and mac machines un-affected if the router is compromised? Well it turned out there was a firmware update for my router, a Trendware 411BRP so I updated it and re-started the fedora box. The problem did not go away, in fact now I could not get to yahoo or google. I've posted a message on a few forums but so far no-one else is reporting the problem. I really think the problem is on the fedora box itself as I have several other windows machines and a mac all working fine through my router. I ran the md5 program against the isos and the sums are in agreement with those listed on LinuxISO.org. I'm in the process of getting the ISOs again directly from the fedora site but its very slow they only let you download 1 at time at about 64k. I've turned off the fedora 2 box for now until I can try the new ISOs. I'll post again after my next install. If anyone else is having this issue please let me know.
