cant get fedora to connect
I got fedora installed again but for some reason it wont connect to the internet. ive tried different nics and pci slots with no avail. it wont activate and get an ip from my router.

How are you trying to "activate" it?. <---Important

Also do you have a firewall running. Try iptables -F, then try to activate.

no firewall

i was clickng the Ativate button

Are you getting any Ip from the router/dhcp server at all?

do a ifconfig at a shell prompt

 

[silverpig]

There should be an init file ( /etc/init.d/net or something like that... can't remember off the top of my head) where you can set your net configuration. Sounds like you want dhcp but don't have it enabled in the config.

which Fedora core are you using?

try typing ifconfig eth0 up .... and then ifup eth0

if that doesnt work, type ifconfig and see if you have an ip ... or if eth0 is even detected, you may not have drivers loaded
