Somebody please help, how can I get my Fedora box to boot up and get
connected to a Linksys router?
Linksys routers sometimes do not play well with Linux and you need to
help out a bit;
Hmmm, it seemed to work quite well when I first installed it, then one
day, it would not work anymore and there was nothing but problems. I
could not get connected for beans. I gave up for the time being and
plugged the two doze machines directly into the Linksys. The linux box
would not pull DNS or an IP, even though the doze boxes had no problems
at all getting online. Strange.
Try editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and add
the line entry; GATEWAY=The Routers IP address here
Hmmm, it works really well now though since I figured out that by
switching the Ethernet cables around (eth0 & eth1). Here is the ifcfg-
eth0 script as it is, works great:
[root@ohmster network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:E0:7D:9A:0D:0C
DEVICE=eth0
MTU=1500
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.218.15.150
IPADDR=""
NETWORK=""
ONBOOT=yes
[root@ohmster network-scripts]#
Also check the /etc/resolv.conf file and make sure it uses the new
nameserver address's
What nameserver? The ones that come from Comcast via dhcp?
It might be a good idea to use a static IP address on the Linux system
for the DMZ
Oh yeah that would be lovely but Comcast does not offer it on their
broadband, at least not for what I am paying. 8Mbps costs $55 a month but
for the first year, you pay only $25 or $27 if you do not buy your own
modem.
It works really good now Lenard, I can even use the Linux box as the home
LAN router which I like better than the Linksys. With the 3com hub, I can
move a 1Gb file across the LAN in like just a minute or two. When I was
using the linksys, it would take up to an hour. Thanks for your insight.
Happy New Year Lenard!
