What DNS server are you using? Is it the default from your ISP? If so, you can try a different on, like Google's DNS service.

It sounds like network problem. Can you tell me what does the browser display?? Does the output of netstat -A inet show any thing?? Can you ping to other site??

If you are asking where to enter the DNS IP addresses, that would depend on your network. If you are going through a wired or wireless router, you would probably need to enter the DNS in the router's configuration settings. If you are not using a router, then tell us the Fedora version and desktop you are using. Also, I am not sure, but I think some modems (cable or DSL) can be configured for a user specified DNS.

Go to System->Preferences->Network Connections. Click on your network connection, then click edit. Choose the IPv4 Settings tab and choose "Automatic (DHCP) address only", then enter the DNS IP in the space provided.

Personally I'd use opendns.org DNS's:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Personally, I just use the DNS servers that my ISP provides. I tried several that claimed to be lightning fast, but many of the websites I tryed to access would not come up with them, so I just switched back.
