Dear MailMan,


I have a proplem, I am using fedora 9 on 6 machines “Intel
Core 2 Due 2.40GHz, 1 GB of RAM., and I have a problem connecting to
the LAN and Internet. I am wondering if out of the box I need to do
something for Fedora to be able to get on the Internet and LAN.


My network setup is as follows :

1 - Static IP to every machine

2 - I have 2 switches, the first is ASUS and the second is DLINK

* All machines are unable to connect to the LAN

* I just want to solve the problem on one machine with the following
configuration :

IP: 192.168.1.204

SubNET Mask: 255.255.255.0

GateWay: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 192.168.1.1

Static Host Name: Developer-3


* Network card model is RealTek

* I used Add/Remove Software to download The DeviceManager and I
think the “ Add/Remove Software” tool seems to go on the
internet and download the “DeviceManager” because the yellow
light on the Ethernet card lights up, however when press on
the Install button nothing happens.
I made the network card status Activate, then I restarted the
computer, but always the symbol of the connection icon is”X”
and the message is “No network connection”
I tried it on one machine that also has Windows XP together
with Fedora 9. From Win XP I am able to get on the LAN and the
Internet but not with Fedora 9, although I have the same
network configurations on both OSes.


Thanks.


try to run ifconfig in a terminal window, there you can see if your
network card is up
if it is not, I would do system-config-network and edit the device and
select activate device when computer starts.

HTH
