repairing a network, fedora 13, with linksy router

drydockbruce

Hi I am a newbie. I have a guru who is otherwise disposed running/developing his own business.

Something happened to my router, and I repaired the connection to the linksys and two laptops,

both xp systems. I can't seem to reconnect to the linux fedora 13 system. Help?

Check whether you have ethernet card active and ip assigned to it.


check whether you get output for the following commands.

ifconfig

route -nr

gomer

Is the Linksys providing DHCP services?

Is your network card a PCI card, a USB adapter, or something on the motherboard?
Can you issue the command ' lshw | grep -A12 "network" ' to help us see more information about your network card ...

ifconfig response:

Response to route -nr

and more

Does this tell you what you need to know?

I guess we'd like to see the errors (on the RX and TX packets lines) when running ifconfig, my output looks like this:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:19:E9:C9:C1

and from route:

Can you copy and paste the results?
