Newb Fedora 2 Connectivity Issues...


I searched and found nothing that worked. I just installed Fedora 2 and i'm getting no internet access, at first i was unable to get into the networ at all, i set it to a static IP and blah blah. So now i can see my shares and what not, but i'm still unable to get online, any thoughts, tips, pointers? Thanks in advance.

To get online (web browsing, I assume), you have to:

1. get your network card working (configure a driver)
2. get a working IP address (default gateway, etc.)
3. configure DNS lookup

If you can see your shares (where? which shares? You share something in Fedora and see this from Windows? Or the other way around?) then 1 and, probably, 2 are done. To configure DNS lookup, you should find out IP addresses of your DNS servers and put them in /etc/resolv.conf (or, better, in the network setup applet).

Of course, getting dhcp client working would be the best, so if you have a dhcp server on your network, play around with the RedHat "configure network" application.

Sorry, i should have been more specific, i can see the XP shares on the Fedora box. So that leads me to believe that 1 and 2 would be done. I'm also connecting through a Linksys router to which i am wired. I've played with the networ configuration tools, i seem to have hit a wall, i don't know what else i can try. It seems like it must be something easy that i'm just not figuring out.

is your Linksys LAN address configured as default gateway on your Fedora box ?

What are the exact failure symptoms : domain not found, failure to obtain the page (but name resolution works),... ? Do other protocols work (try DNS with dig against your ISP nameserver, ping some host outside your LAN,...) ? Which kernel version do you use (there is an issue with kernel > 2.6.7, which usually slows down connections with routed networks to the point where http won't work most of the time, while LAN connections are usually fine) ?
