    New Internet connection w/ Linux Fedora 2

    Help! I have activated an Ethernet connection eth1 with the connection wizard, created a user profile, saved my work, and rebooted several times repeating the process each time. After rebooting I attempt to open Mozilla and can not connect to anything? Using the terminal I can not ping yahoo as well. The NIC light is green?
    Any ideas??

    Welcome to the forums!

    Fedora Core 2 is really old now (released May 2004) and you'd have much better hardware support with a later version if that is an option for you.

    Arrow Old Fedora 2

    I am sure it is old, unfortunetly, that is the only one I have. If I could set it up so I could surf the internet maybe I could upgrade from there instead of having to download a new version?
    Thanks for the input!!!

    fedora 9 download complete

    OK You where right. I downloaded Fedora 9. Is that a good thing? I have been reading that maybe 7 was a better version? Do I need to now get the .exe files and put them on a disk so my machine will read the images?

    Fedora 9 might be a good thing for you. Generally speaking, the more recent the release, the better the hardware detection/support will be.

    You can check this HowTo for properly downloading the ISO files and then burning them as images to the CD/DVD:
