197962 2003-12-06 17:39:00 Have just installed Fedora Core 1(Thanks Chilling!) but it will not work with my IPCop box. The network is not activated. Setting a static ip will let me activate the network but I still can´t connect to IPCop.
IPCop is set up to give out ip addresses with dhcp. This works fine with Mandrake 9.1 on my wifes machine and Redhat 9 on my machine, also Windoze 98. Fedora can´t seem to detect anything from IPCop. An upgrade install from a working Redhat install or a clean install has the same problem.
Any ideas???
Cheers

197963 2003-12-06 19:06:00 If you run (as root):
ifconfig
Does it show eth0 as being up?

try:
redhat-config-network

197965 2003-12-07 03:56:00 Well ifconfig says command not found and I have played with the settings in redhat-config-network and made them the same as the redhat 9 setup but now the machine is showing heaps of errors at startup and shutdown.

197966 2003-12-07 07:25:00 You must be root to run it:
su -
[enter root password]
ifconfig

197967 2003-12-07 20:55:00 Yeah I know, I am doing it as root!!!
Got my old trusty external modem working at the moment, but I cant figure what would change so much between RH 9 & Fedora.
Any other ideas?

197968 2003-12-08 01:02:00 Do "su -l" then you get all your path set properly for root. rsnic (3780)
197969 2004-01-03 04:30:00 Just found out that this is a problem with certain 3com cards & Fedora
