Is Evo online? Look at the "plug" icon in the lower left corner. Click
on it to go online.

If this is happening regularly, you may have a configuration issue with
NetworkManager under Fedora. Basically, if NM isn't managing your
connection it thinks you are offline and Evo believes it, even if you
are really online. The way to fix it is either a) don't use NM, or b)
configure NM to manage the connection (run system-config-network, click
on the Edit tab for the connection, then tick the "Controlled by
NetworkManager" box).
