Hi, I'm a noob in Linux. I've installed Fedora Core 3 on my computer (Laptop ECS g733, p4 2.4, 512 ram, all components SIS). It works great! I still have some problem finding things but it's ok. The only problem is that I just can't connect on the internet. I have a DSL connection. D-Link 500G mount on a lan with DHCP. It works fine except on Linux. I can ping the other computers (but I can't see them on the Microsoft Networks folder (why??). I have this configuration : eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet addr:192.168.0.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::fdff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:214 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:184 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:21582 (21.0 KiB) TX bytes:14079 (13.7 KiB) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:9122 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9122 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:10483779 (9.9 MiB) TX bytes:10483779 (9.9 MiB) The first one eth0 seems to work, it's my ip adress from my Gateway but I don't know exactly what is this 'lo' thing cause with windows you only have 1 : the network card. Someone know the solution to my problem?? Thanks! Mickael

Hi! I found the answer: the MAC address is the broadcast, you can't use it so you have to change it executing this commandÇ ifconfig eth0 hw ether AA:FF:EE:00:00:00 (or whatever address EXCEPT FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). Linus give the broadcast by default. Thanks! Mickael

Sorry, I did some test at my friend's house... This is the real route table: Itinéraires actifs : Destination réseau Masque réseau Adr. passerelle Adr. interface Métrique 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.4 20 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.4 20 192.168.0.4 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 20 192.168.0.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.4 20 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.4 20 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.4 1 Passerelle par défaut : 192.168.0.1 I know that this MAC address is really strange, when I do a probe of the MAC address in Linux it give me that: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF Worst of all, why is it working in Windows and doesn't in Linux? The TCP/IP protocol is the same, right? Mickael

Hi! Because I don't understand every line of that flood (sorry for the mess) I decide to put all the things that look like network hardware things. It's from the '/var/log/messages'.

Hi! I believe the 'Ethernet HWaddr FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF' is the mac address. I found the options where i can inform the mac address of the Ethernet Card but when i look in windows it doesn't tell me the mac at all! How can I discover that? My Modem is connected to a hub, it has all the router options (with DHCP server), I putted all the firewalls options off, on the modem and in Linux. But still, I have no answers from the web except the package from the ping! Got an idea? Mickael

I forgot, when i ping on the internet it workd too. I happend to me before with Windows but i forgot what I did to make it works... Thanks! Mickael
