Just loaded Fedora Core 4 - mizzy - 2006-03-26
Please bear with me, complete noob to linux :/
Just loaded FC4 for the first time las night. First mission is to get it connected to the net :)
My laptop hasn't got a network card init (yet) but for the moment I am connected via a USB network thing (According to my network configuration, under Hardware, its a Pegasus/Pegasus II USB and yes, its Ethernet). The light on this is flashing, so I know connection is going into there.
I've tried pinging 192.168.0.1 in terminal and all I get back is "Network is unreachable". I've also tried the browser, can't connect.
I've logged into my router (which is a Netgear DG834G) and looked at connected devices and it only shows up as this desktop being connected.
Any idea's how I can get connected?

I've gone to internet configuration wizard and that has almost got me connected *feels such a dunce :/ * well I can ping ip address, just not address.
Trying to figure out my hostname next :)
