Thanks for the suggestions Dazza (and Grant) and googling on my behalf :) but unfortunately the problem still exists. I have been persisting for so long with Linux with the main problem always having been internet conectivity. When I finally got Fedora to dial, connect, stay connected and then visit my first webpage on Linux I thought I could finally make the switch, but alas some other problem arises! I think I am cursed, I must have unwillingly sold my soul to MS when accepting some EULA of theirs :POK - a quick google seems to indicate that there's a problem with your
kernel buffer space.
ulimit -s 10240
is the suggested fix I found - but I'm not guaranteeing this is right.
As to how to fix this permanently - if this is indeed the problem - I have no idea. JFGI, I would suggest.

BTW Is there any way to flush the buffer manually, or is this a really bad idea?
I started a ping from the time my connection came up:
