I have recently installed Fedora Core 4 and ran across a network issue.
I use PuTTY to access the FC4 box, and that works fine. I can ping any
internal ip address(behind the router) but can not access DNS servers.
Cannot ping them or anything. When i try to ping an outside ip i
recieve the following error: connect: Network is unreachable. Host name
cannot be found is the error for ping'ing google. I tried a static ip
address and then went back to dhcp and the problem didn't resolve.
It looks as if you are missing a default gateway in your kernel routing table. If you get your IP address from DHCP, your server normally provides your gateway address and your DNS server IP address(es) (which are normally the IP address of your router) which your system will put into the right place; but if you choose a static IP address you have to configure them yourself (no doubt there is a Fedora applet to help you). If you have no luck, post your output from:
netstat -r
and the contents of your file: /etc/resolv.conf (for your DNS)
