can't fix classic problem: internet connection
I've recently installed FC5 on my computer and have great difficulty connecting to the internet. I've searched every possible thread but am so overwhelmed by what to do. I need to know how to connect to the internet.
Here is some more info: Dell Dimension 4400 Ethernet card: Davicom Semiconductor D-Link DI-514 Wireless router Motorola cable modem Here's what happens when I run ifconfig eth0 Code:
eth0 Code:
determining IP information for eth0...failed Code:
dhclient-3.0.3-26 Code:
ping: unknown host yahoo.com Code:
From 192.168.0.102 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host unreachable I don't know what to do now. Thanks in advance. |
I'm not exactly sure what you have going on, but there is something funky with your broadcast address Bcast:192168.0.25 it's missing a dot after the first octet (192.168.0.25) Where are you picking that address from? That doesn't make sense for the IP address. It probably should be 192.168.0.255.

Two questions:
1. Is the driver for your network card listed in the output of the "lsmod" command? 2. What happens when you issue "dhclient eth0" ? |

I don't know which is my network card when I type lsmod. |
silly question,
can you ping for an example google with ip ? so that we can count out dns problems? Code:
# ping 64.233.183.103 |

try pining yourself... i know it sounds silly but if you cant then there is somthing wrong with your networking support possably a kernal fault, you should allways be able to ping yorself!
(ping <your IP adress> ) then try a loopback ping (ping 127.0.0.1) |

When I ping Google's IP address it outputs: Code:
From 192.168.0.102 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable However when I ping www.google.com it says Code:
ping: unknown host www.google.com http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...928#post537928 |

Dumb question: Is your router properly configured for DHCP? |

ok...i completely reinstalled FC5 again and I am able to connect to the internet, but only when I unplug my ethernet cable and plug it back it, and it only stays connected for around one minute and I can't reach sites anymore...then when I unplug my ethernet cable and plug it back again, I am connected again but only for that minute. What could the problem be?
