Ive used Ubuntu happily for a few years, but trying Mandriva, Fedora, etc, I can never connect to the internet. The strange thing is, Mandrive shows the correct addresses, shows it is connected, but still won't connect to Firefox or Google. Any ideas. Thanx to all. Bob H. <br>
</blockquote><div><br>Sounds like Ubuntu sets up DNS properly and Fedora needs more manual input (or a reconfiguring of the dhcp client), try 'ping <a href="http://google.com">google.com</a>' and then 'ping 8.8.8.8'. If one works and the other doesn't, there's your answer. How to fix it? I'm afraid you'll need to ask on the fedora list.<br>
