Etho0 setup

Hello,

Trying to run Fedora Core text mode and im at a wall. I have got everything to work except my etho. Now i wanted to know if there is a tool i can use, im sure there is just cant remember it, that will allow me to choose obtain through dhcp server(router).

Prior i thought this was my network card not having driver setup but when i went into linux rescue i was able to set it up.

thanks

Update

Ok so its setup, however still no go??

why will my etho work in rescue mode and not in my fc2 mode?

Is the module for your network card listed in the output of lsmod? If so you should be able to edit /etc/network/interfaces to add the parameters for the card. Here's a sample config. (omit the # at the beginning to activate the lines)

# The primary network interface
# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp

Restart the network with /etc/init.d/networking restart

Good luck.

I would rather fail at linux than succeed with windows

Tried for some odd reason after i re-installed i got it to work ><

However this brings me to my next problem,

when i try to get yum up and going i get the standerd first time thing about needing to install gpg public key.

I tried

rpm -- import public.gpg.key

and it returns me with import read fail, anyway around this?
