Setting up an internet connection with Linux.

[spearlymatt]

Well maybe not Linux, Fedora 10. I don't really know the difference.

But I'm on a computer running XP now, and have my Gateway, Subnet, and IP through CMD.

But I still can't get the internet to work on Linux, any ideas?

Fedora is a distrubution of linux, just to clear that bit up. Are you trying to obtain an IP address via DHCP on the linux box or set a static address. If you're setting a static address it can't be the same as what's on your xp machine. The gateway, subnet, and DNS servers should be the same though.

There is a control panel in the GUI to set your network settings. Are you looking to script it?

I think, You are right, but you better look at this point of view http://sourceradix.com/m/tnn.html

Please ban this person and forward me their IP so I can trace it, buy a plane ticket, go to their house, ring their door bell, and when they answer swiftly kick them in the nuts over and over until I get tired.
