Hey i just recently switched from ubuntu edgy to fedora core 6 and now i have set my connections to auto IP and DNS detection. i used to have the connection working in ubuntu. My Nvidia network card has been detected as eth0. please help and thanks in advance
Check your ifcfg-eth0 file and make sure the interface is set to come up on boot. It might be down by default. If it is, "ifconfig eth0 up" should bring it up.
If it IS set to come up on boot, and its still not getting any DHCP info, make sure you're DHCP server (probably a broadband router) is working properly.
If none of that works, manually assign an address and manually bring up the interface, and see if that helps.
