No Internet connection with Linux

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

Something is playing magic with my computer: I cannot access to the
Internet with Linux, although I can connect to the Internet with MS
Windows. (I have a dual computer MS Windows/Fedora Core 4.) Even with
a Linux live CD, I cannot connect to the Internet. My Internet
connection is done through a modem/router connected to an Ethernet
card.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Paul,

(1)  Check your network settings in Windows?
(2)  Find out if you properly setup the connection equivalently in Linux?
    You need to know IP addresses, static/dynamic,  any name-servers
you have set,  gateway address... etc.

Are you using DHCP? the router is providing the IP automaticaly?
Check in windows if you have set the ip manually.
Check in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 what 
configuration appears there, or even if there is a file with that name.
If there isn't any file, sure is your linux is not recognising your nic.

Good luck.

Thanks, James and Gaston. I had not modified any network
configuration, but it seems that my Internet provider has. Before, the
IP address could be obtained automatically, but now I have to
configure a static IP address. Anyway, now the Internet is working
fine on FC4.
