LAN and Internet Access Problem (Fedora 10)

Green-EyE · 10-27-2009, 06:33 AM

Hi people
I want to update my Fedora 10 using YUM.I´m using dhcp configuration on my LAN but the notebook is not acess the internet also I´ve tried static IP configuration and still not access the internet.Well, it only connects to the LAN when I check the Network Manager option .I cannot reply ping from the gateway.Is not my LAN configuration problem because I teste the same cable with another desktop running Fedora 10 and worked fine. I´ve configured the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" file manually still not access the internet.I found another file at "/etc/Network Manager/ifcfg-eth0" but NO SUCCESS AT ALL.

AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. PLEASE HELP ME

NOTE: I used to access the internet from other LAN so is not also my Network card Drive or Hardware problem I hope.

Well, not sure how Network manager might interfere (I turned mine off the moment I installed FC10) but you can try this to manually configure the eth0 interface.

As root, do:

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.254.255.255 up
/sbin/route del default
/sbin/route add default gw 10.0.0.2 eth0

where

- 10.0.0.8 is the IP you want to assign to the machine
- 10.254.255.255 is broadcast IP (i. e. if you choose to make your IP 192.168.0.1, broadcast would become 192.254.255.255)
- 10.0.0.2 is the IP address of your gateway / router (if you have one)

Note that the 10.0.0.2 line is optional, if you do not want that machine to have a route to the gateway / router, simply omit that line. This is necessary (at least in my setup here) so that my machine can have internet connectivity.

You can of course place the above lines (suitably edited for your situation) into

/etc/rc.local

so that they will get executed each time the system boots, ensuring that it always comes up with networking up and running.

Other than that, to get the system to surf the net, you just need to put your DNS servers into

/etc/resolv.conf

i. e.

/etc/resolv.conf:

Code:

options timeout:0
nameserver 169.125.255.103
nameserver 169.251.255.134
nameserver 169.71.17.235
nameserver 169.17.15.34

After you've done the above you should have at least some success, or at worst different or new error messages...

thankx rylan76

I´ve followed your suggestions, and now I can "ping" to the my gateway (192.168.10.1), my DNS server (192.168.20.1)and outside my LAN, but I still can´t navegate thru da web.I have MySql ,PHP and Apache installed and I can go using the localhost (127.0.0.1).

Any Ideias?????
