Keep looosing Network Connection?

[fvs]

Hello again,
Well I'm back, I have lost my connection to the web once more.
I have on my dual boot machine Win XP and Fedora Core 5, I was up and running on XP, then rebooted and booted up Fedora, only to find that i couldn't get on line? I have been running online in Fedora for about 6 days without a hitch. My Network say's I'm activated,But I can't get on line, My firefox is running, yet it can't find the servers? I tried to restart with the /etc/init.d/network restart command and all commands I know, Maybe someone else that had this problem can help? Thanks. fvs

Try using ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers.

Does your Fedora system use DHCP or a static IP address?
What's in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0?

Hi Falko, I can't seem to get it together,

Can you try this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0?

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
HWADDR=00:E0:4C:F1:A3:FE

NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
DEFAULTGATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Restart the network afterwards:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Your system should then have the IP address 192.168.0.3.

OK, I have it all except I still can't get to the internet? Check it out:

Is 192.168.0.1 your gateway? Can you ping other systems in your local network?

Where does 169.254.0.0 come from?

What ethernet card do you use. Download its latest driver from the manufactures website and then extract them with cabextract (yum install cabextract). Install ndiswrapper

http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Fedora_Core_5&

Then run cabextract on the .exe file.

Install the required .ini or .inf (google this) and then type depmod -a and then ndiswrapper -m and you should be good.
