Well, if this were a Fedora-wide issue you'd see lots and lots of threads on the
subject, so it's likely localized to your situation.
There are a number of things you can still look for. It seems to me that you have layer
2 connectivity issues, since you can't see anything on your LAN, and nothing else on
your LAN seems to be seeing this box.
So I'm thinking, giving you've tried disabling all the
security features built-in, that you have a problem at a deeper level, and it's not
one that's there by design.
Lots and lots of people are experiencing networking properly operating after F14 install,
myself included. With multiple machines, and multiple types/brands of ethernet adapters;
we just need to find the layer 2 issue you're having that looks almost like either a
PHY misconfig/incompatibility or a layer 1 partitioning due to auto-negotiation issues....
I had a problem getting networking up on this box with an nVidia MCP79.
It turned out to be a port setting. I had to add this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full port mii autoneg on
/sbin/service network restart
/sbin/ifup eth0
It was the 'mii' which was necessary in my case.
