hi william... the config stuff for your eth/nics should be in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts dir.. i know nothing about the network-manager app... peace -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of William Case Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 1:19 AM To: Fedora List Subject: Messed up my ISP/Networkmanager connection !? Hi; I have been delving into (messing around with) my network connections and now I can't get Network Manger or my browsers to work. This post attests to the fact that there is some physical connection to my ISP cable connection and my eth0 is active; xchat and FM Radio on Rhythmbox work. On booting, NetworkManager is listed as 'failed' -- "setting NetworkManger waiting for network - failed". Then, "httpd: could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name using 127.0.0.1 for server name." ]$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:92:E5:DC:47 inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21a:92ff:fee5:dc47/64 Scope:Link ... I was screwing around, experimenting, with the system-control-network gui -- incorrectly added stuff to the 'hosts' page and saved. I got a message to the effect 'we will save this stuff, but we are going to disconnect you for badness". I was duly disconnected. I have removed the 'bad stuff' from /etc/hosts and saved. hosts now reads : # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 CASE localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 As it did when everything was working. What am I missing? Where do I find it? Where is my DNS or whatever? Why is there no help for the Network manager? Why is the 'Edit Connections' on the Network Manager blank? And what does NetworkManager Tool really mean? ]$ nm-tool State: disconnected - Device: eth0 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Type: Wired Driver: forcedeth State: unmanaged HW Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Capabilities: Supported: yes Carrier Detect: yes Speed: 100 Mb/s Wired Settings How can I fill these in from the command line? -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
