fc7 Network Problem - abhishek77 - 2007-12-13
could anyone tell me how to get internet on startup when loading fc7?
I am using cable internet provided by virgin in the UK.
I have fc7 installed on my laptop as well as desktop.
on desktop i am also running windows.
The problem is when starting up fc7, it is a struggle to get connected to the internet on the desktop and impossible for any network connection on the laptop.
However this was not a problem when i had first installed fc7 and used it for a few months on both systems.
Things went smoothly. However i stopped using the laptop for a few months and began to continue use with windows on the desktop for quite a while.
Now when i run fc7 on both systems, i face network problems.
why is this happeneing?
I used to face this problem a lot with fc6 mainly on the laptop and it was a pain trying to connect to the internet using the network confirguration after 4 or 5 tries or having to restart.
are my setting not correct?
so when it starts up, it displays a screen where it determines the ip connection and it then displays the status as failed or ok. now it is always coming failed even after the connection is present. I have no problems on windows. i then try to connect using network configuration.
what must i do?

Try this if you haven't already:
1) Shutdown computer
2) Unplug the cable modem's power chord from the wall
3) Plug the modem back in
4) Wait for modem to start up ( approx 30 seconds)
5) Turn computer back on
Dunno if it'll help, but it has worked for me twice.
