Can you check a couple of things? It would help if you gave the output of the following commands (run them as root):

ifconfig -a
ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
cat /etc/modules.conf
lspci

[Teqno]

I executed the commands you gave me and this is the output...

I see. Your network card is working properly, it's just the actual internet connection that doesn't work. What kind of connection do you have (DHCP, PPPoE...?)?

[Teqno]

My IP is assigned dynamically through DHCP if thats what you mean...

[lordnothing]

then it could be as simple as running (as root):

dhcpcd eth0

[Teqno]

I'll boot to Fedora and try...

[Teqno]

Ive tried it but it still doesnt work,

the bash shell couldnt find that command

[scientica]

The dhcpd command lies in:
/usr/sbin/dhcpd

Unless you logon as root or 'su -' you'll have to specuify that whole path manually (since the sbin folers aren't included in non-super users path)

I'd recomend that you run this command:

sudo /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0

(you'll be promted for root password)

[Teqno]

Hey,

I was allready logged in as root:

[root@localhost sbin]dhcpd eth0
bash: dhcpd: command not found

*edit:
Do I miss some package or something.. I really need this done so i can really get going with my linux (school).
