Can't connect to the internet

[johntp]

My Fedora box isn't connecting to the internet now. I think it's probably because I ended up installing my network cards wrong. However, I can't find Fedora saying anywhere that my cards arn't working. Is there anyway I can tell whether or not the cards are working. WHat could be wrong? It fails when it tries to get an ip address from DHCP.


One more bit of information...
pinging 127.0.0.1 works. So maybe the card is working!

Please post the output of:

netstat -tap

Hey, thanks for the reply,

I thinks the problem is that when I use ifconfig eth0 it says

ipv6 addy: (address)


I'm using an ipv4 network (who isn't) and I dont' know how to change this.

What's the output of

ifconfig

? What's in /etc/hosts?
