fedora problem : "The network has been disconnected"
 
i have a RealTek Semiconductor Ethernet card (RealTek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E GigabitEthernet NIC ),and D-LINK GLB-502T Modem
when i open System->Admin->Network
and activate my card..there it shows active but at the network applet(that is at the top-right side of the upper task bar) the symbol is disconnected(shows a cross sign in the network icon)..
when i right click that network icon and uncheck and recheck on "Enable netwok" the icon stays disconnected...and this message shows up - "the netwok has been disconnected"....
i use xDSL connection to connect to the internet...when i activate ppp0 along with eth0 at System->Admin->Network ,the internet doess'nt cnnct..

my gateway is 192.168.1.1
my ISP provides dynamic Ip address..to my internet cnnction
my ethernet IP is 192.168.1.2
Netmask - 255.255.255.0

You shouldn't need to activate PPP for ADSL connections. Disable it and just keep eth0 activated, you should have connectivity just with that.
After that, try pinging your gateway, a remote ip address like 208.67.222.222, and a domain like google.com. Which ones work?

yah...
but my ADSL is bridge connected
hence i have to dial my internet username and password to connect to the internet
hence i use ppp service..
previously i used ubuntu..
there used to be a command "pppoeconf" which determines my eth0 availability nad requires internet username and password (provided by my isp) to connect to the net..

Here my actual problem is probably my network card is never active..
when i try to activate(after a deactivation), ...this msg is shown "The network has been disconnected"

Check out /var/log/messages. The last few lines should show the logs of the card being activated. The part after that should show the error thrown when it gets deactivated. That should help narrow down the problem.

Can you paste the output of ifconfig -a? Are eth0 and ppp0 up?
