Thanks for all the schemes but my agricultural fix to problem is to make a 
dated back up of grub.config file and use nvi to edit file and just set 
default to kernel we had been using.

Unfortunately that is not the end of the problem.
We can ping our dns server so we know the network is working.  ssh allows us 
to connect to all boxes on the network.   We can log into router with browser 
so we are know hardware is OK.   Other boxes running 5.10 can 
access "google.com"   For security they are in the promiscuous mode.

We are not able to launch "google" or "dogpile" search engines from this box.  
We cannot use browser to view our own website.
 We suspect that it is a security problem with 6.5, when we installed 6.4 we 
were able to select security level during the setup.   With the simple 
upgrade selection we assumed that it would stay the way it was.

Any suggestions on where to look.

Thanks
