I am unable to get a new eMachine t3418 running FC-5 onto a home network
with a Belkin Pre-N wireless router. I am connecting it via one of the
Belkin's 4 CAT5 ports, not via the wireless. The Belkin provides NAT
and DHCP at 192.168.2.1. I now have a XP Pro laptop connected via
wireless and a second FC-5 machine, an old PII-450. The eMachine in
question is not running X Windows.
I had asked earlier on this list and the group kindly advised me to try
a few things for diagnostic purposes, so here's some (somewhat
abbreviated) output. I should mention that I talked to Belkin and they
suggested assigning the eMachine an IP address, so I edited
/etc/sysconfig/network, which didn't make the slightest difference.
Either way, the machine gives me: "Determining IP information for
eth0...failed."
Anything jump out here?
Thanks for any assistance...
