Connecting to Net

[Ahamarshan jn]

Hi alex,
 Thanks for ur mail, i am a novice linux user so excuse me if i had left anythiny important to mention. I have an integrated intel gigabit controller, and a lan  connected to the network in my university. I tried to connect fedora to net through the start->system settings->network* and tried to connect to the net by supplying the IP and other info it asks for but except that i couldnt understand what controller it needs i selected intel gigabit controller not the integrate ( since it was not on the list)  hoping that it gets connected, but again it could not be activated since the error message said that the hardware listed could not be found. I tried in the net hard to find a patch or some info in it but google couldnt help me.

There is no real hardware information in your mail. What does "lspci -v"
tell about the ethernet controller. I understand that it is fix on your
motherboard. Which driver do you try? If you load it by hand, will the
syslog then report anything? Does dmesg print anything useful during
bootup?

"SATA drive gives a gib problem"? I suspect you want help. This way
certainly you can't. At least my crystal ball is lent to a friend.
