F10 recent network problem
by Dennis Mattingly
Hello,
I have Fedora 10 on my Home-Desktop.
I enjoy it a lot, but this recent issue is bugging me.
My internet suddenly broke last week.
The problem looks like my router, but I swear it's not the router.
ORIGINAL SETUP
Duration: Last 5 months
Setup: Connect Computer -> Router -> CableBox
Result: INTERNET works good
But now this setup doesn't work anymore.
CURRENT PROBLEM
Duration: Started Last week
Setup: Connect Computer -> Router -> CableBox (same setup as before)
Result: INTERNET is broken
However, if I skip the router (connect computer -> cablebox) my internet
still works fine.
I bought a brand-new router. Same problem, still no internet.
I bought a brand-new cable cords. Same problem, no internet.
I think the problem is NetworkManager.
I think maybe I clicked some things in NetworkManager and my router doesn't
work anymore.
Can anybody help me?
I really want a router, but Fedora 10 does not work with it.

Question(s) default firewall in Fedora
by Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow Fedora users,
According to some users, Fedora has a default firewall that adds basic protection. There is no service "firewall", but some users have pointed out that iptables takes care of this.
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status

Which traffic if any is allowed to come in to our computers if and when we do get on the internet?
We can use system-config-??? to configure simple iptables to change stuff around and/or get webmin?
I know that by default Fedora provides a good basic firewall, but are there any howto's/readme's as to how to learn more about Firewalls in Fedora.
Thanks,

Well, FC5 is long out of support, that's what you get for waiting so long
until you finally upgrade. (Hint: you're supposed to upgrade at each or
every other release, not wait 5 releases and then install in parallel,
still keeping the totally outdated version.)
Kevin Kofler

jbyers;
I am fully aware that I was/am way out of date, and fully nonsupported in
fc5.
I _was_ trying to install the current f10
(which i think you would encourage)
but wanted to retain fc5 until i successfully installed f10,
surely a safe practice.
Instead I got my main fc5 clobbered by
some combination of
--my own inexperience
--a live/install cd that did not have a "custom" option.
or i couldnt see it.
David's experience also was that there was no custom option.
I purchased my cd from OSDisc.com
Fedora 10 KDE Edition - install/Live CD
is this some outdated version?
or a deficient version?
not officially supported?
How is one to know?

Re: Q about installing F10 from Live DVD

David replied

I wrote about this the other day but I don't recall ever seeing it show up.
First: A Live-CD *does not* install separate packages. A Live-CD writes
itself to your hard similar to the way you burn an ISO to a CD.
It will *erase your harddisk* and then write itself exactly as it is. You
have no choices of anything.
You boot the CD. You are looking at the OS running from memory. You decide
to install it to your harddrive so you click the install icon. It formats
your drive and writes itself to your drive. Exactly as it is on the CD. You
reboot, answer a few questions and you are basically done.
And *whatever* was on the HD before is gone. Period.
The size of the CD it limited but they have put what most people would need.
Anything else you install from the online repos.
All of that aside I would seriously doubt that you could update a Fedora
Core 5 install directly to a Fedora 10 install anyway. Too many years and
too many changes. If you do a fresh install the has been updates since the
Fedora 10 Live-CD was made. Probably another CD full of them.

yes but that doesnt answer my confusion as to how it chooses
the hard drive or harddrive partition to write on.
and whether it is forcing LVM on me
and whether it is forcing a separate /boot partition.
I have two scsi disks, sda, sdb
I was trying to point it to my sdb6
it clobbered my sda1
Are you saying liveinstallcd will try to
take over my either my entire sda or my entire sdb?
> I would seriously doubt that you could update a Fedora

??? this doesnt make sense to me.
I thot the liveinstall was a fresh install,
nothing to do with "update"

Patching Vanilla Kernels with Fedora Patches
by Dominic Driver
Hi All,
This is my first interaction with the list - hope this is the right place for this question!
I recently installed Fedora 10 onto a development machine, and updated the kernel to
2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686
During development of a C++ application for this machine, I was required to update and rebuild the Intel Graphics Driver for XOrg in order to fix a problem with the version of the driver I had. As I understand it, the latest version of the Intel Graphics Driver uses libraries that have been moved into the kernel with version 2.6.28.
I therefore downloaded the source for Kernel 2.6.28.6, rebuilt the kernel and the graphics driver, and fixed the issue with graphics I was having.
Unfortunately, I now have the situation when using the Vanilla 2.6.28.6 kernel results in extremely slow burn speeds when writing to DVD-RW Drives. Where I previously had average burn speeds of 10-11x, I now have average speeds of 2.2x. Since this is core functionality for the C++ application I'm developing, it's something of a problem.
My question is:
Is it possible to apply the Fedora-specific patches for my Fedora Kernel (I have the source code for 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 ) to the Vanilla 2.6.28.6 kernel in order to see if this fixes my drive speeds?
If so, how do i go about this?
Thanks for any help in advance,

Hi guys
When I configed my network, and reactived it, I found that I could not

I typed vpnc in command line the response is 'no response from target

What's wrong with my performance? What else should I restart again after
I config my network? (I am using network instead of networkmanager)

Re: Effect on ssh of altering target's assigned ip address

This lets you examine what MAC addresses the local host thinks other
hosts have. If you have access to the other host you can check for
correctness (eg using ifconfig).

I presume '$C4a' is a shell var of your containing a host or IP addr?

My first idea is that more that one machine on your network is using the
IP address 192.168.6.32, or that or your local host. This will cause
trouble. The exact behaviour varies with the OS, but it will include
aborted TCP connections (as the wrong host gets a packet and rejects it
as not being for a current connection).

|
| Ping works fine now. Ssh works. It's just way too slow running XMaple.
I would now start using the "ethtool" command to examine the ethernet
interfaces on your local host and on the remote one. If, for example,
one end is half duplex instead of full duplex you will see horrible
performance problems much like what you describe.
Do I recall you're using a gigabit switch? Are you using cat6 cables
throughout?
Cheers,
