Internet Question from a newbie (No connection)
Hello everyone-
I just installed Fedora Core 5 on my older system. I currently have a DSL connection on my regular computer but when I try to switch the cable to the FC machine, I can't connect to the internet. Before installing Fedora, the PC worked fine when I connected it to the internet. Please let me know what I'm missing... I can't download anything because I can't connect to the internet :( Please help :(:confused: |
Can you post the results of the following command:
/sbin/ifconfig |
Here you go:
lo Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets: 348 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets: 348 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:28599 (27.9 KiB) TX bytes:28599 (27.9 KiB) |
What brand/model of network card do you have?
Lets see if your system recognizes it. Could you post the results of this command: /sbin/lspci |
I think the line you may be looking for is:
00:0a.0 Communication controller: Rockwell International HCF 56k Data/Fax Modem (rev 01) |
Thats a modem. What we're looking for is your network card. It appears that your machine is not seeing the network card. Do you know what kind of network card you have?
|
I knew that :D (Just kidding)
Which line would ne the Network Card? (I'm just trying to save myself from typing everything - since FC5 is on the other machine) |
The line would most likely contain the words "Ethernet controller"
|
Looks like it isn't being recognized :(
|
Please post the output of
Code:
lspci | grep -i network |
One other place you might look:
dmesg | grep MAC |
Hey guys - neither of those 2 commands yield any results
(no errors either) |
Well it would appear that it does not see your network card. Do you have another network card you can try?
|
I guess I could take this one out and try it?? :confused:
But isn't it weird that it worked when running Windows but isn't being recognized now? |
Thats why I was trying to find out what brand/model you had to verify that you don't have a driver/compatability issue. Being as the fc6 install does not see the card there appears to be a compatabilty issue.
