Having trouble getting to the internet in FC4
here's the deal:
i (finally) got my wireless card configured and working, and the DHCP client on my router shows that my laptop is connected. the trouble is, my FC4 laptop doesn't show up with a name in the DHCP client table, and it can't get to the internet.
i can browse around my network, see my windows machine, but if i try to go anywhere beyond my router, it won't find it.
help!

If you use KDE, have you tried going to System Settings -> Network. It will ask for root login. On the DNS tab, put in the fixed IP address of your router. If your router is providing DHCP, then you should be good to go.

Sounds like there may be a rout problem.
Type route from the # prompt as root.
Verify there is a default gateway and that it in fact points to your router.
If not you need to type:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
then you're set to see the net. Changes are you're router is already passing DNS info.
