asked on
getting a linux box on the internet.
I am getting really angry trying to get a fedora core2 box to see my network.
Ive setup the static ip, the gateway, the subnet and 3 different dns servers and it still wont surf the web !
The only things I have not fiddled with is the 'hosts' tab and hardware tab.
i configured the ip, gateway and subnet on the devices tab after doubleclicking on eth0
and I configured the DNS on the DNS tab.
I have 'activated and de - activated eth0 many times. but nothing.
I cannot ping anything and I cannot surf the web.
any suggestions ?
it is the built on intel network adapter on a supermicro dual Pentium3 Motherboard.

Open a terminal session and use "/sbin/ifconfig" and see if your adapter is listed and what the IP configuration is.
Post results here if you can.
Next, use "/sbin/route" and make sure your default gateway is correct.

I can ping 127.0.0.1
I cannot run 'ifconfig' or 'route' from anywhere.... even the /sbin dir.
not as a user and not as root.
that sucks
but I can use the gui config tool.... that is kinda wierd that the command prompt tool wont work.........
still
I cannot ping my gateway though.
should I have somekind of entrys on the 'gui's network config tab ?

...Smack my A$$ and call me S@lly,,,, It worked !!!!!!!!!!!
I can now run "/sbin/ifconfig'
That was tricky... I origionaly thought that ment I was supposed to switch to the /sbin directory and then run 'ifconfig'
but, now it works.
HEHEHHE
ok
back to getting this darn thing on the internet....
what do I do now ?

Sorrry, it took so long, I had to Learn about using a floppy in linux and mounting and un-mounting...
got messed up 2 times and had to reboot because I took the floppy out without 'unmounting' it first.
hehe.
Learning all the time.!!!!

Errors and dropped packets are not good. Something is not right. Either you have a bad cable, wrong cable, or wrong NIC driver..
Suggest using the GUI wizard to remove the hardware device completely, reboot, then use the GUI to add a network device back in. It should come up as eth0, not eth1

Yep, I agree.

ok.... I deleted it.. (Both of them.. I have 2 NICS) and now I need to add them back.
The onboard one was an intelpro100 and the pci one was some netgear one.

Do you have a link light on the network adapter?
Try this command --> ping 127.0.0.1
If that doesn't work, there is something wrong with the IP stack.
