It appears, the for me, NetworkManager is not working correctly,
so I used network instead. I am able to get access to all local lans
and FireFox works only for local connections - not for Internet
(outside) connections. I found a real quirk with the network tool,
it messes up the settings badly, like placing Default router into
Netmask. Very odd, so I had to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
(and checked Networking) and manually enter the correct values. I have
had to do this before in F8 and in F9. Seems like a reoccurring theme.
Clearly, I am unable to get the F10 to reach the default router
(or so it seems), so I checked the routing tables:
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
10.1.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U
0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U
0 0 0 eth0
default sonic 0.0.0.0 UG
0 0 0 eth0
Which matches my F9 routing tables.
I cannot figure out why I cannot reach the Internet (default router)
as I am able to access the entire local LAN system... What am I
missing here?
What do I need to do to fix this, please?
[ Notes:
1) I had to type this all out by hand - could not get Places->Networks
working, no matter what I tried. Network access to LAN works, but
somehow, browsing of network via SMB does not work, and yes, I did
use the System->Administration->Authentication SMB settings
as there was nothing else available that I can see to configure
smb, other than manually editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file,
but even my changes to this file does not seem to work either.
Update: Samba was blocked by Firewall by default. Checking
Samba in Firewall tool enables the Places->Network to appear.
2) Gparted would have been a nice addition to the LiveCD as I
use it regularly to prepare the drive before handing it off to
the installer, imo.
