Use internet sharing on USB with Linux and WM6

hey what would cause this?:

i have a Verizon VX6800 with the ICS form the thread installed, the laptop is a dell latitude D600 running Fedora core 7 kernel 2.6.23.15-80.

fedora seems setup phone as a network device and ICS is giving me a ip address:

it seems to be setting up the route as far as i can tell:

[output from route command]

Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2

169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2

default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2

i can even resolve FQDNs :

[output form nslookup cmd]

Server: 192.168.0.1

Address: 192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: yahoo.com

Address: 66.94.234.13

Name: yahoo.com

Address: 216.109.112.135

i can even ping the phone its self:

Server: 192.168.0.1

Address: 192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: yahoo.com

Address: 66.94.234.13

Name: yahoo.com

Address: 216.109.112.135

but i can't ping anything else (by name or ip):

PING 216.109.112.135 (216.109.112.135) 56(84) bytes of data.

i have tried restart ICS and and the laptop top along with network services, and disconnecting and reconnecting the phone via USB cable. the phone can browse the web but my laptop can only resolve names to ip but not talk to them i even tried wiping out my iptables just in case that was stopping something but still can't ping or connect to any web site.

anyone have any ideas why i can only resolve names FQDNs but can't ping them is it my phone or the laptop fubared on its settings.

thanks.
