Well, it would certainly matter if he is using pppoe (as opposed to
having a static address). Seng, we need more info - is your setup with a
static address, or is it pppoe? Or for that matter, is it wireless (in
which case wep or wpa comes into play). There's more than one kind of
broadband - we need to know these little details before we can help.
cheers,

HELLO!!! As you edited/cropped the earlier messages Mr. Storey, you
left the impression that I wrote the last item preceeding your text. MY
contribution to the thread was in fact deleted in its entirety. That
contribution read
Seng, I also had similar difficulties establishing a broadband
connection when first installing Fedora Core, both with FC2 and FC3.
My solution to the problem was to re-install and have Anaconda (the
installer) activate network services on boot up with DHCP enabled.
This was a drastic solution, perhaps, but it worked.
If one is more conversant in linuxeese, editing one's init.d file
should provide another avenue to accomplish the same result without
going through re-installation. You might consult the documentation
available on your machine in
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-<version-number> (through a browser use URL
file:///usr/share/doc/initscripts) and download the RedHat Linux 9.0
documentation manuals available at RedHat's website.
I'll thank you to avoid misrepresentation of my statements! They may be
dumb or wrong and if so I accept responsibility for those shortcomings,
but I will not sit still for having statements by others attributed to
me or having my statements misrepresented.
