Kevin,
This seems to have worked. However I didn't fix the resolv.conf because
there was a note in it that said to add the DNS to ifcfg-eth0. I went into
the admin page of my router, found the real DNS address and added this in
the file on a line starting with DNS1=.
After restarting the network services I noticed the NetworkManager had
updated the resolv.conf file and that the ine nameserver (address from DNS1)
was now added.
The prompt in the CentOS 6 install screen for the computer's name (hostname)
does not get added to the hosts file. Instead the default file just has the
line
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Anyway Firefox is working and I just ran yum update from terminal and it
just completed in update.
Will see.
Thanks everyone for the help.
