Hello friends,
I'd like to ask a very trivial question
today. Actually I am a novice Linux user and am taking
sure but slow steps towards complete migration from
Windows to Unix/Linux. I am using RedHat Fedora Core1
at my home and college, but the only real hurdle in my
path to becoming a full Linux only user
is that I cant connect to the internet.
I have this FC1 system, with a Bsnal broadband
connection. At the time of installation, I didnt
configure my IP address or DNS service. I let it
remain default to DHCP. But now when I create a new
xDSL connection using Internet connection wizardover
my NIC card (eth0), the connection does activate as
the message says, but the websites dont open.
Also, at the time
of bootup, what shoul be the message regarding network
interface eth0. I hav always got an OK message when I
didnt configure it . But after assigning it an IP
192.168.10.1, it says failed to bring up my ethernet
card.
So kindly help me out, coz although I am comfortable
with a little administration and software package
installation, I still experience a lot of problems,
when trying to configure sendmail or DNS or NIS etc
and this internet connection problem is making me mad.
As I had really set a deadline to switching over to
Linux fully( no windows usage at all), by this month's
end.
I hope many of u can help me out, by giving me some
insight on where i might be doin something wrong,
where can i find step by step tutorials etc. I hav
also installed Roaring Penguin's pppoe software, but
even that failed to help.
Waitin eagerly for reply,
Sushant
