Can you please point me to some subjects of posts or archives of posts you're referring to?
Maybe <http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/>
Thanks, I've downloaded the udev "fix" and rebooted and nothing is fixed. I still can't get connected to my network.
Would you actually like to provide some information?
Or just carry on telling us it doesn't work? I mean, basicaly, with the question you've given, and the detail, the equal response would be "fix it" then it won't be broken any more.
Is your network card recognised? What is your network card? built in, pcmcia?
When you plug the card in, do you see a link light come on?
What does dmesg provide?
Come on man, be reasonable.
Sorry, I should have continued the thread rather than creating a new one with a more appropriate subject "iptables still seems active even after disabled in FC 3".
This morning I found the post "can't get through dhcp after upgrade" and this is exactly the problem I'm having.
My network card is built-in my laptop and does not have a light.
I've tried both static IP assignments and DHCP. DHCP always fails to get an IP. The static IP is "assigned" according to "/sbin/ifconfig", but I can't use any port.
One note is that I disabled SELinux and Firewall in setup.
Thanks for your help, Kevin
Kevin,
Can you run /sbin/lspci and post the portion regarding your network card?
There are issues with pcmcia and the order that the network card is loaded. Since you have a built-in ethernet, this is not likely.
The other issue that comes to mind is ipv6. I believe this might be an issue.
My idea is for you to open up system-config-network and see what type of device that kudzu might have detected. you might need to see if you can change some settings regarding the automatically discovery of your nameserver.
Can you ping the box from another computer with a static address? Does your computer get a dhcp address assigned if you have a router that uses dhcp? What does /etc/resolv.conf list as your nameserver? There should be the name of the server and a few ip address listings. Without a listing within this file, you are pretty much not able to connect to the web. you should stll be able to ping the computer from another on your network.
I hope this leads you to some resolution or you can provide more useful info for others to give you some feedback.
Regards,
Jim
