Fedora Core network problem
 

Hi,

I just installed fedora core 4beta and when im trying to connect it just says that my network card isnt present. I tried to connect with my winxp and it worked great. I have a router and other 2 pc's in the network and they work great, so what's the prob?

Welcome to LQ.

Can you post the output from:
ifconfig
lspci
lsmod

I tried them all and it says that "command not found",
i wrote them in terminal with root access, so did i do right or what? :confused:

whereis ifconfig
whereis lspci
whereis lsmod

ok, i wrote the commands with that "whereis" and it echoed:


ifconfig: /sbin/ifconfig /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz
lspci: /sbin/lspci /usr/share/man/man8/lspci.8.gz
lsmod: /sbin/lsmod /usr/share/man/man8/lsmod.8.gz

The whereis command shows the hard drive path to those programs. Once you know where the commands are you can run them by specifying the path, and not get "command not found" errors. So now post the output from:

/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/lspci
/sbin/lsmod

Well it looks like you have the tulip driver loaded. Try running:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100

Does it produce an error? Try running "ifconfig" again, do you see eth0 listed now?

If that doesn't work try:
rmmod tulip
modprobe tulip

Then post the output from:
dmesg | tail
dmesg | grep eth

tried that "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100", but it said that "No such device" and when i tried rmmod and modprobe they just echoed a blank line
