Hi all,
I installed Fedora Core 1 on my PC, dual boot with Windows98. I've had some experience with Red Hat linux before, and I am really impressed with Fedora so far - it has re-awakened my interest in computing!
My rationale is that if i can get just the internet working, i'll probably never use Windows again but there is a spanner in the works ...
I connect to the internet through a Cable Modem. I can connect fine using Windows, but cannot through Fedora.
I have followed the earlier discussions ("Cannot connect to the internet" and "Internet Not Working") and have tried all the suggestions, but I am really stuck and just cannot get anything working.
I first downloaded and installed l2tpd-0.69.tar as suggested by my Cable provider.
Below is the output I get when running l2tpd. I have also included output from all the files suggested by the discussion threads mentioned above.
I am completely confused as to what values i am supposed to use and where they have to go.
In the output below, hamlet is the name of the linux partition, othello is the windows partition.
one question before we start - how do i determine the IP address of my machine (ethernet card?)
Thanks in advance, hopefully i have included all the info you'll require. I look forward to the time 'll be able to contribute to this forum when I get up to speed (and connected!)
