Lan card trouble
Hi all, I recently installed FC3 on my system. I use a cable internet connection, and I managed to establish the connection using the Internet config wizard. But the problem is I have to activate the Lan Card device everytime I boot the system. Is there a way to activate the device automatically using the IP, DNS and other data I gave it, everytime the system boots into Linux?

hi,
if you are logged in gnome, go to Applications-> System Settings-> Network
There pick your lan connection (probably eth0), click edit. In the dialog that pops up, you can choose 'Activate device when computer starts'.

Try Applications->System Settings->Server Settings->Services, check if network will be activated at boot.

Yes it is checked, but I still am unable to have it active since boot time. What is going wrong?

This is strange, it should get actually initialised with those two options. How dou you activate your lan card after boot up?
Could you also post the output of ifconfig right after boot up (without activating your card manually)?
Do you have any files in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices?

You have to set it such that the networking is turned on when your system boots up.
try the command : (as root)
# chkconfig network --list
if in your run level, it is "off"
turn it on by :
# chkconfig network on
# service network restart
that will do the trick.
