I let it run all night, and tried again this morning. xinetd and
privoxy were still running, and the two net launchers on my left panel
(the system-config-network one and the one with two monitors not visibly
connected, which fails to give its name) both claimed a connection; but
still nothing would connect.
I got into the s-c-n app, made eth0 inactive, changed
localhost.localdomain on the DNS tab to Tpbk.localdomain, and made eth0
active again -- Lo! and Behold! -- everything worked.
When I tried that again just now (couldn't remember the name of
the tab), it said localhost.localdomain again. So I suppose what did it
was just turning eth0 off and back on ...
I'm on #1 now. I'll keep running it till I get my routine pensum
behind me, and then try xorg.conf.fmurph again, some hours from now. Stay
tuned.
