Internet problem in Fedora 6
I just ungraded from Redhat 9 to fedora 6 and ran into a problem. In Redhat 9 I used my ethernet connection without any issues. However, in Fedora, sometimes my connection would disconnect at every so often. Then I would have to disconnect the ethernet port, reconnect it, and it would work for another five minuts then disconnect. An interesting point is that I installed Fedora using the http option (After booting from a CD, it installed the rest of the OS from the internet using a http address, really slick function), and also because red hat worked flawlessly, I don't think this is an driver error, can someone help out.
Also, I just tried downloading a big file, obviously it didn't finish, but an interesting this was that when the internet stoped, the download manager still said 60kb/s, but it just froze. Not sure if this helps describe my case.... Sigh... I've had a bunch of unique computer cases for the last month, all strange and mysterious. Last edited by jingesu9 : 12-29-2006 at 02:30 PM. |

How are you connected to the internet? Are you plugged straight into a DSL/Cable modem? Are you plugged into a broadband router?

Yeah, I'm in cable too. And it does work in DHCP configuration in Redhat 9. But in Fedora 6 it wasn't stable. A guy in fedora's forum said I should do it in static, but it didn't connect even through I am sure I have the right numbers.
