hi
for more debugging info , u can this to see whats going behind the scenes u can add up the line *.* /dev/tty12 to ur /etc/syslog.conf and restart syslog service and u can view all the errors and output being generated on the tty12 by ctrl+alt+F12 at the same time see if u get any termination signals from the other side..... and u r getting public adress in fedora also, right?? try pinging ur internet server or any internet site regards gaurav |
