setting up internet
 

Hi guys

I have installed fedora core and i also got the broadband Internet through cable. Problem is that how can i setup it now? My provider has give me a program which connects me to Internet but it is only for windows.

Thanks

You have to give details. Is it DSL or cable? Is it ethernet or USB?

its through cable, plugged into my ethernet card, i hv been given an static ip address

its through cable, plugged into my ethernet card, i hv been given an static ip address

What version of linux are you using? Whats the name of your cable modem?
Does your NIC have the right driver?

Right. Is that the only network card in your computer? If so, then try an ifconfig eth0 <your static IP> gw <your gateway> up and a route add default eth0. Also add your nameservers into /etc/resolv.conf. Then try to ping a website.

thanks adz. i'll tryout ur solution. But my system has two ethernet cards. We guys have 6 comps attached through a hub and that cable is sometime inserted into hub and some time into my computer. Since we dont know yet that how to configure proxy server. what should i do in case when cable is plugged into hub and my system is connected through hub

Are you saying that you computer is a gateway for your local network? If so you need to read up on IP masquerading. If you're connecting through a hub, what I said should work depending on the hub. Just try what I said and report any errors.
