F9 No netork access from Xwindows

I just installed Fedora 9 on a machine.
It has network access.
>From command shell I can ping and dig addresses but the status icon in
top right corner says networking is disabled and when I run Firefox it
says I am offline.
yum also fails to connect.
I've disabled firewall and selinux I think with no changes.
What new feature did I miss?

You don't say how you are trying to "access the network".
WiFi? Ethernet? ADSL modem? etc
