Network problems: Connect to router

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi All, I've been trying to work through problems connecting to the network for one specific Fedora box. The cable modem works fine when I use a different machine. But if I connect the Fedora machine to the cable modem, I can't start networking. I just tried something different. I connected the cable model to a router, and then connected the Fedora machine. If I do this, I can actually log into the router from the fedora machine. so at least the networking goes that far. But I can not get anywhere on the internet. Maybe the DNS is bad, I don't know. Any ideas how to figure thi (HowTos)

I have a Fedora machine which isn't normally on the network, but has been on the network before. I tried for several hours to connect to my cable modem and turn on networking, but failed. I know the modem and cable is okay because it works with a different machine.

Hi all,

I'm still trying to get networking on my Fedora machine. When I run 'system-config-network' as root, it lists an entry for 'eth0'.

I have very little understanding (ok no technical ability so be gentle)

Ubuntu 10.10 connects to a DSL modem without any problems - I mean I just plugged it in and it worked - GREAT

I bought a wireless router so I could connect my netbook and now my Ubuntu machine which is simply using a cable from the wireless router now DOES NOT connect.

I tried a windows machine on the wired connection from

I have the loopback cable connected from my server to the CISCO router. The router is connected to the router in the office with a crossover cable. It is connected to Lan port 4 (Linksys) and the cable is plugged in to the WAN port(CISCO).

Hi all,

Hi all.

Today, I came across the following usage scenario ::

1) One router, serving internet, through wifi and wires.

2) First machine, running Fedora-17, that was connected to internet, through its wifi interface.

Hi,

I am trying to set up a small home network. There are two machines, t61 (192.168.10.100) and quad (192.168.10.101), both running SuSE 11. They are connected to a router (Trendnet TEW-639GR, if it matters), which in turn is connected to a cable modem. I modified the /etc/hosts on each, to have the other's name & IP address. Now:

I currently have an Airport Extreme connected directly to my cable modem but have been wondering if I should actually connect direct to my proxy server first. The reason I am asking is because I run multiple web servers for web hosting and I have a proxy server setup that directs traffic to the appropriate computer based on domain names.

I have such network layout: internet comes true fiber optics to modem. From modem LAN cable goes to router. Since that router wifi signal is weak LAN cable goes to another router from which I connect true wifi.

TL;DR - Modem > router > router with wifi > me.

Browser connects just fine.
