Hi all,
I've been using F10 for quite a time but after 3 months since i installed from its launch.I am getting several problems such as undermentioned--

1. The foremost one is "My network connection automatically disconnects itself in 5 to 7 minutes.".

2.Wine which works fine for 20 days since its installation ,then its server crashes & I am not able to uninstall it(I've tried several commands to do it).

3.Its Mozilla crashes in between.

4.All the drives & applications are working slowly.


Thanx,
Ayush

Have you verified that the hardware is healthy? Like, with a live CD or something.

Ya absolutely,I've worked with Ubuntu live cd & it works fine there
I've a dual boot OS & network connection works fine in WIndows.

If Fedora 10's networking seems slow or you get frequent network connection failures (when other Fedoras or other OSes were working just fine on your machine), then you're probably hitting this bug.

Here's how you can work around it:

1. Open a Terminal.
2. Become root:

su -
3. Make sure that the "dnsmasq" program is installed (it usually is, by default, in Fedora 10):

rpm -q dnsmasq

If that says "package dnsmasq is not installed", then you need to install dnsmasq, by running the following command:

yum install dnsmasq
4. Now, you have to find out which network interface your machine is using:

route -n

You'll see some output that looks like this:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

The eth0 there (the furthest bottom-right text in the output) is the name of the network interface I'm using. Yours might be eth1 or something totally different. Just remember it for the next step.
5. Now create a file called /etc/dhclient-<your network interface>.conf. For example, if your network interface is eth0, the file would be called /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf.

You can create the file with this command (assuming your network interface is eth0):

nano /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf

Then make this the only line in the file:

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

And then save the file and close it (Ctrl-X then Y).

If you have both a wireless and a wired network connection, you will have to do this step once for each of them.
6. Now start dnsmasq:

service dnsmasq start

And make sure that it will start every time your computer starts:

chkconfig dnsmasq on
7. Now restart your network connection:

service NetworkManager restart

And now things should be as fast as normal again. You might have to restart the programs that you're running for them to pick up the changes that NetworkManager made when it restarted.

I've done as u said but it says like this--
Starting dnsmasq:
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket: Address already in use
[FAILED]
my route -n output is--
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
117.197.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0

No,the problem is solved

thanks

What did you do to resolve the issue?

Actually,I'd been posing many problems with the previous installation of F10 like 1 mentioned above.
Hence,i reinstalled F10 & the problem was solved &also my mozilla browser is showing Progress Bar

It's good that you got it goint. :-)
