Sorry, I was so stressed that don'i even saw what I was writting. The machine is a HP laptop, centrino. I'm connecting with cable to a network in a student residence. It connects directly to the internet. The network has a DHCP server, and I receive the IP address by DHCP. Yes, I think it has a router. In windows everything works fine, but I need the Linux to work. I tried Fedora and Suse. Both give me the same error. In Mandriva 2005 it works well, but I don't like mandriva very much. Thank you for the help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Claude Jones" <claude_jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 2:17 PM Subject: Re: problem with network > On Sun December 4 2005 8:48 am, João Gomes wrote: >> I installed Fedora >> But now I have a problem with the network. >> I can't receive the IP address by DHCP. >> When it's starting the network, it shows me a message saying Invalid >> Argument. >> >> Please help me! > > For people to help you, you'll have to provide more information.
