Here's what you do.
In
In Fedora get a terminal session and type ifconfig and post it here. Command not found – through status of connection ip-comes
to be 192.168.1.1
In vista do a nslookup from a command prompt for your favorite web
site and check that it returns the correct DNS address. 192.168.1.0
In Fedora do the same from a terminal and check that you get the
correct address.
In
In Fedora do the same and confirm that you can reach the
gateway. Unreachable host
In vista are you using the WiFi Connection rather than the wired. If so use the
wired in both cases so we get the same results. Both are Wired
In both cases the default gateway should be the broadband router and the DNS
server will also be the same address as the gateway (This will depend on make
and model of the router).
I need this information to catch the problem.

Yes I do have a broadband connected to external modem.
When I pug-in the LAN cable, it says connected, but nothing works! I verified
the ip-address but it’s not the one which I get while running vista.
I need a detail diagnose procedure
to catch the problem.

Ok.
Do you have a connection such as broadband?
It seems your first problem is getting connected to the internet.
I think you need to setup a wired link to your router first with DHCP enable and see what happens.
There are no security settings so you should just connect. From there we can proceed with the other problems.
Let the updater update everything.

In Add/Remove packages, I’m not able view anything. It says, “unable to load the package view list, it should be done at backend”.
Is it because I’m not able connect to internet, and the list has to be downloaded from http server?

Look in Add/remove packages and search for Pulse.
The first item should be this.
Enable pulseaudio support in KDE.
It's unlikely the Nvidia driver would stop sound working.

Hello,
My laptop multimedia-keys(HP smart keys) works fine in GNOME desktop but doesn’t work with KDE.
Also, Internet is not getting configured. When I plugin the LAN wire, it says connected and the ip address displayed is different to what I see in windows. I have a external modem connected to broadband service provider.
Please provide suggestion to configure the above.
Thanks,
Gyan

Rpmfusion is easy to set up: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/
The nvidia-driver is propietary but you are allowed to use it as you own the card, so you sould not care about licensing issues about it. Only philosofical issues for being using a propietary binary thing into your free kernel.
The audio card can be a problem. You first have to identify the chipset and know if alsa supports it, you can start in alsa's web site instructions for new alsa users: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
Good luck!

Hey, but am more worried about the Audio card. I tried with F10 KDE live CD but no sound was audible! Also how do I get rpm-fusion usage license?
Is their any alternate method to get sound working on my laptop?
