How to Enable LAN in mylaptop? (HP Pavilion g4 series laptop...) installed with RED-HAT Linux 6.0...

and help me how to install LAN and wireless lan ? how to install USB drives how to use automatically? help me....

To enable your LAN, you need to plug in a network device called a switch (you could use a hub, but that's old school and I wouldn't recommend it since it's half-duplex and you will end up with collisions). Once you have powered the switch on, you can plug patch cables into it and plug your computer into the other end. Plug another computer into the other end of another patch cable which is also connected to your switch, and then your LAN is then enabled.

To help you install your wired network adapter and wireless network adapter, you would need to let us know what makes/models you are using in your HP. You could also see whether or not they are already recognized with these commands (please post the output of this command):

ifconfig

If you see eth0 and wlan0 there, then your ethernet and wireless adapters are working. If they are not enabled, you could simply type these commands:

To mount your USB disk, you can type the following commands:

If your disk mounts with the above commands, then you could edit your /etc/fstab file by adding the mount commands to it (following the syntax of other disks in the file)

sudo apt-get install urgent*

A network interface device has two parts to the ability to use it in linux. One is a driver. Some driver needs to be installed by default or you need to add it in (if available). Second is network configuration.

Red Hat is a very poor choice to use on a laptop. Consider installing Fedora instead.

I believe you mean this:

That "red hat linux 6 " is the CURRENT RHEL( Red Hat ENTERPRISE Linux) 6.3 ?? right ?
and not rh6 ( red hat linux6)from 1999

RH6.0 (Hedwig), April 26, 1999 (Linux 2.2.5-15)

also RHEL6 is not a free operating system
so i am guessing that YOU DID buy the REQUIRED support contract
-- it is a MUST HAVE, you have to BUY the license
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/
the STD 1 year for $299 IS the recommended yearly license
then once you have registered RHEL6.3 your fist stop in finding answers
is the Red hat knowledge base
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/search
login to the red hat web site with the user name you used for buying the license
and search for the make and model


however seeing as this isa network issue
you might want to call them on the phone and use the support license you bought.


----------- if you do not intend on buying the license then you do not use RHEL6
if that then install one of the FREE rebuilds
CentOS 6.3
or ScientificLinux 6.2 or 6.3


however RHEL is not known for working well on laptops
ask the rhel sales rep you are talking to about support for THAT exact make/model to see if it's network card is supported


the lan eth port should be easy
for cable
plug in the eth cable and reboot
but rhel dose tend to be a bit manual ( as in you might need to set things by hand )
for the default Gnome desktop
the ifup eth0 or ifdown eth0 from one of the above posts should do it
