I've got my Linux laptop, and I'm trying to get online through my school's LAN. It goes...

[laptop] ---- [class server] ---- [school lan] ---- [internet]
I think, anyway.

All of the computers in the class use WinXP, the class server is Win2k, and I don't know about the school lan. I got some information from the computer I'm on. IPs are assigned via DHCP. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is 192.168.1.254.

I'm on Fedora Core 1, and I used redhat-config-network to set the card up, and it will activate fine. I start up Mozilla Firefox, and it opens the home mozilla.org page about firefox, but other than that I get nothing. It did access art.gnome.org once.

To do work in class we log in to the server, and I presume use that HDD, and our workstation's RAM.

Any ideas on what else to change?

are you getting any error messages? if you are authenticating to the class server fine, and getting a dhcp address from it, you should be fine. run ifconfig (if you dont have it, find it and install it), and make sure you are getting an ip address, subnet mask, and DNS address. Post back with the results
