HP G62 using Fedora 15 network connections problem

[Herakletos Helanicos]

I am new user of Fedora 15 and I use it on notebook HP G62 a50sm in
dual boot with Windows 7.

My problem is that I can't access to any network - wired or wireless.
I've read a large number of 'tutorials' and 'how to manuals' on the
web, but none of them resolved my problem. Base of the problem is that
I can't install anything because I don't have any access to the
Internet on my notebook when Fedora 15 is active. Is there any way you
can help me?

Very grateful

Steve

Sure.  Assuming this is just a regular notebook, Just say how far you get:

Plug in wired cable; does a light come on on the socket?

Do you have a network manager (NM) icon on the desktop or panel, 
somewhere?

Click the NM icon, what does it show?

Select 'edit connections', and create a 'wired' connection with your 
network details.

Post back here if you get this far and don't know what to set up in 
the edit connections dialog.  When you post back, say what network 
addressing arrangement you are using - fixed IP (and gateway, and 
DNS), or DHCP?
