I've been trying to find out why I can't get connect to the Net, I've been all over the linux web forums and I still can't get a fix. I reinsalled my OS twice and followed ever step. I'm daul booting with XP and that's perfect, I can get onto the web and run every application I have in it, but I thought that I would like to use Linux and choose Fedora Core 5, How erer I can't get past this problem. Here is problem. I go into my system Network and choose to automaticly configure my DHCP and try to actavte, I get the error message it failed, I was told to post the details, here they are; [root@localhost /]# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:4C:F1:A3:FE inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:4cff:fef1:a3fe/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:17 Base address:0xe000 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:3553 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3553 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:4405361 (4.2 MiB) TX bytes:4405361 (4.2 MiB) root@localhost /]# dmesg | grep eth0 eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01565:2501 bound to 0000:00:14.0 eth0: no IPv6 routers present [root@localhost /]#

Please put this into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: Code: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 HWADDR=00:0C:29:46:19:D3 IPADDR=192.168.0.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 ONBOOT=yes Of course, you must replace BROADCAST, HWADDR, IPADDR, NETMASK and NETWORK with your own values. Then restart the network: Code: /etc/init.d/network restart
It's working, Thank you. I tried to go to update all packages and it seems to quit after a time, What is the normal way to update packages? How do I go about it? Do I need to do any special thing? Also the screen darkens and then the screen saver come on and I have to log in once more? But I just want to thank you very much for your help, you did it. Thanks, fvs
If you have a desktop installed on the system, you can do it from there, I think the program is called PUP. If you're working on the shell, you can do it with yum. Have a look at Code: man yum to learn about all options.
