Network connect under Fedora Core 2
 

Hi altogether,

I installed Fedora Core 2 (clean install, no update) on a test computer, that I use for different installations. The network connection works under SuSE 9.1, RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1. And I need a hint why it does NOT work under FC2.

What I did:
- install FC2
- tried to ping localhost --> works
- tried to ping the hosts IP (192.168.0.40) --> works
- tried to ping the Default gateway (192.168.0.1) --> does not work

Error message, that appears with the ping:
"From 192.168.0.40 icmp_seq=x Destination unreachable"

Strange (for me) is, that in the error message the *local* IP address (ends with 40) is mentioned, and not the destination (ends with 1).

My environment:
- Router with DSL connection
- The router has 192.168.0.1/24
- several PCs with static IP addresses

The dates, that I supplied:
- local IP: 192.168.0.40
- Subnet: 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
- DNS: 192.168.0.1

Any ideas, what goes wrong? As mentioned, the network card and connection is ok. After booting with RedHat 9 on the same system, everything works fine.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Frank

Hi,

Thanks again and best regards,

u may have trouble with nic drivers. what does it say in /etc/modprobe.conf file about nic driver? and what does it say in /etc/modules.conf in fedora 1?

Continue on Friday :-)
 

I'll continue my tests on Friday, I'll be out of the office for the next two days. I'm currently installing RH 9 again, and will do an update of that. Let's see what happens then. :-)

Thanks so far,

Frank
