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

    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 ...

    In response to the requested info:
    ifconfig response:
    eth0
    link encap ethernet
    HWaddr
    inet addr fe80 feff scope;link

    Response to route -nr
    invalid option -- "r"
    route [-nNvee] [-FC] [<AF>]
    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
    inet addr:192.168.1.105 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
    inet6 addr: fe80::222:19ff:fee9:c9c1/64 Scope:Link
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:226182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:25047 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:53358871 (50.8 MiB) TX bytes:6613333 (6.3 MiB)

    lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
    inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

    collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
    RX bytes:20922 (20.4 KiB) TX bytes:20922 (20.4 KiB)

    and from route:

    [GoinEasy9@fedora13xps13 ~]$ route -n
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
    0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

    Can you copy and paste the results?
