Check that your router has IP address entries for your ISP's DNS 
server(s).


Check that you have not forgotten that you turned on access 
restrictions on your router, and in particular that you have not 
limited the number of DHCP addresses which the router can serve out, 
and that you are not over that limit. (Been *there*...real 
hair-puller!). This is a likely possibility given that you got things 
to work at your brother's house.. Maybe he has NO security settings 
enabled??? Check that DHCP is turned ON.


Check that system-config-network has IP address entries for your ISP's 
DNS server(s) and that the gateway address in on the correct network 
(ie 192.168.1.1 and not by mistake 192.168.0.1 etc.) You might want to 
try settings a STATIC IP address to avoid DHCP contention errors. This 
will not help if you have MAC address filtering turned ON, at the router.


At a console enter:
'service NetWorkManager stop'
'service wpa_supplicant stop'
'service ip6tables stop'

With a WIRED connection ONLY:
'service iptables restart'
'service network restart'

This should A) stop all the wireless services and things we don't want 
in the way, and B) start ONLY the things we want to see.


Then:
'ifconfig eth0'  should show, in the second line something like:
inet addr:192.168.1.99  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
If not, try 'ifup eth0' then 'ifconfig eth0' again.

If you have an address, start with 'ping 192.168.1.1' (or whatever 
your router's IP address is). That *should* work. Then try 'ping 
yahoo.com'. If that works, then the problem(s) are internal to the 
configuration of the programs you are running (ie proxy settings in 
Firefox)


If you used a static IP, but cannot ping the router, then it is likely 
the wiring or router setup. If you get no address reported, then the 
network setup is wrong. (This is why a static address is useful for 
this case).


If you get an IP address and can ping the router, but cannot ping 
externally, then it is probably the router's DNS setup. When the wired 
connection works, THEN you can try to set up wireless (and/or revert 
to a DHCP IP scheme).


And if you ARE going to set up wireless then I strongly recommend wicd 
(at wicd.sourceforge.net) as a replacement for NetworkManager. It 
works at least as well as NM, but has a MUCH more transparent setup 
and control structure and can remember/act upon different wireless and 
wired connections, such as you need for a laptop at work and at home. 
For this it helps if you use 'static DHCP' where the router parses the 
MAC address and delivers an address accordingly, triggered by the DHCP 
request from the laptop etc.

the DNS???, anyway it works), but the wired connection still doesn't work.

*This looks fine!* ifconfig should show Up addresses for BOTH 
interfaces. If it does not, then we have one sort of problem. If it 
does, but you cannot connect wirelessly, then it means another sort of 
problem, probably related to security or encryption.

Yes. It is actually simpler to download the 2 packages from 
wicd.sourceforge.net, and make  make install. That avoids the sort of 
conflicts you got.


Please post 'ifconfig wlan0'. Use system-config-network to configure the 
wireless interface. If you get wicd installed, then do a 'chkconfig wicd 
on' and 'service wicd start', then use the desktop icon for wicd-client, 
and configure the wireless card there too.
It usually helps to start by turning OFF all wireless security on the 
router and on the laptop, while you get the rest of it working, then add 
MAC filtering and WPA keys etc. last.


Sounds like you are actually quite close. Once wired is working, the 
universe of points of screwup gets a lot smaller!

We really need the full output of ifconfig. What does 'ifconfig wlan0' 
   give?

And here is what I get with netstat -rn:

*This looks fine!* ifconfig should show Up addresses for BOTH 
interfaces. If it does not, then we have one sort of problem. If it 
does, but you cannot connect wirelessly, then it means another sort of 
problem, probably related to security or encryption.



As for wicd: I used that when working with Ubuntu and was always quite
happy. So let's give it a try:

Yes. It is actually simpler to download the 2 packages from 
wicd.sourceforge.net, and make  make install. That avoids the sort 
of conflicts you got.


Please post 'ifconfig wlan0'. Use system-config-network to configure 
the wireless interface. If you get wicd installed, then do a 
'chkconfig wicd on' and 'service wicd start', then use the desktop 
icon for wicd-client, and configure the wireless card there too.
It usually helps to start by turning OFF all wireless security on the 
router and on the laptop, while you get the rest of it working, then 
add MAC filtering and WPA keys etc. last.


Sounds like you are actually quite close. Once wired is working, the 
universe of points of screwup gets a lot smaller!

Re: Help: No internet connection


Hello all,

My problem is definitively not linked to the fedora-webpage being  
down. Meanwhile I made some progress:


At my brothers place I managed to connect to the internet with no  
problem. All programmes worked, so I could add all the additional  
programs I needed and install the latest updates.


Now, back home, my problem is the following:
- DOES NOT WORK: Firefox, Thunderbird, Evolution (error connecting to  
the server)

- DOES WORK: Opera, Sype, Software update, Ping.

I guess that this is about the strangest problem that I have ever had  
since I use Linux. Help would me most welcome.

2009-12-13 Thread Aaron Gray

2009/12/11 Simon Schneebeli simon.schneeb...@okko.org

 Hello all,

 After having used Ubuntu since almost more than three years, I decided to
 give Fedora a try. The installation went perfectly fine. Everything was
 perfectly recognised. Now I face one big problem: I can't manage to connect
 to the internet.

 Through the network connection, I manage to establish a connection with my
 wireless ADSL model. It also works through a wired connection. Ping works.
 But neither Firefox nor any other programme manage to establish a
 connection.

 Any idea what the problem may be? I guess you need additional information.
 Which one exactly?

 To be more precise: It is a completly fresh install of Fedora 12 on a
 Thinkpad T61. I didn't change anything in the network configuration except
 that I put the password for my wireless connection.


I have this same problem quite often but am not with my Fedora machine so
cannot give precise instructions.

Try left or right clicking on the icon on the top right of the screen and
look at the options.

I remember having to fill in my MAC address into a field as a new
connection.

Best of luck,

Aaron

Already checked that. No proxi in use (never did).

An additional information: The message Server not found pops up

What strikes me about that list is the ones that don't work are
NetworkManager aware - I wonder if NetworkManager is telling them the
connection is offline.

Do you have a NetworkManager icon in your systray? Does it show your

Ok. I'll try to provide as much information as I can.
- Wired or wireless doesn't change anything. I have tried both.
- I'm using a DSL connection with a WPA2 encryption
- No proxi, DHCP

Mr. Willstrand asked me to do the following:

 It's seams to be an DNS issue. FF fails to lookup the IP-number.
 During the installation of Fedora, did you got any errors?

 //HW

 I'm not aware of any errors during the installation.

 However, in SELinux Troubleshooter, I have this error message that might be
 linked to this problem:


 Summary:

 SELinux is preventing /bin/find getattr access to
 /var/lib/misc/prelink.full.

 Detailed Description:

 [find has a permissive type (prelink_cron_system_t). This access was not
 denied.]

 SELinux denied access requested by find. /var/lib/misc/prelink.full may be a
 mislabeled. /var/lib/misc/prelink.full default SELinux type is
 prelink_var_lib_t,
 but its current type is cron_var_lib_t. Changing this file back to the
 default
 type, may fix your problem.

 File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.

  * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
    directory by default.
  * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the
    parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which
 creates
    a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with label
 C.
    An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t
 type
    and creating a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally
 receive
    the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is
 labeled
    with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this.
  * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or
    restorecon.

 This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally
 confined application was run under the wrong domain.

 However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should
 not
 have been labeled with this type.

 If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this package.

 Allowing Access:

 You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the
 restorecon command. restorecon '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full', if this file is
 a
 directory, you can recursively restore using restorecon -R
 '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full'.

 Fix Command:

 /sbin/restorecon '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full'

 Ok. I'll try to provide as much information as I can.
 - Wired or wireless doesn't change anything. I have tried both.
 - I'm using a DSL connection with a WPA2 encryption
 - No proxi, DHCP

 Mr. Willstrand asked me to do the following:

 [si...@sangam ~]$ nslookup download.fedoraproject.org
 Server:                192.168.1.1
 Address:        192.168.1.1#53

 Non-authoritative answer:
 download.fedoraproject.org        canonical name =
 wildcard.fedoraproject.org.
 Name:        wildcard.fedoraproject.org
 Address: 66.35.62.166

 Address: 152.46.7.222

 And if I directly type firefox 66.35.62.166, I get to
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IndexAdmin without further problem. So he
 means that this might be a problem with DNS...


Do you have any SELinux issues with libc or similar?

 I think we need a lot more information about your network setup before
 we can help ;o)

Nope...

Your network configuration seams to work (nslookup reported:  server
192.168.1.1 and the correct IP for download.fedoraproject.org, etc)
which proves the correct functionality from your ISP and modem.

I wild guess, something went wrong with Firefox, libc (which
implements DNS-lookup) or you might have lost a track on your hard
disk.
I have no clue...

If possible, try a LIVE USB-stick to see if the issue is still there.

I don't think that the problem is linked to that either, since this  
morning, at my brother's place, everything went well.


I'll try tomorrow with the live CD and also try to find out the DNS  
numbers, just to be sure that it's not that.


Thanks anyway for your help.

Your DNS server is 192.168.1.1?

Did you say you were using a DSL router?

Is the IP address of your DSL router, 192.168.1.1?

You also say everything works fine at your brother's place.

Could your DSL router be doing something, like blocking certain traffic?
Can you check your DSL router configuration, please?
