[SOLVED] F10 No Network Connection

[WetCoastCoder]

Hello, I'm a newbie with Linux and Fedora.

Issue:
Fedora 10 indicates I have No Network Connection, even though I do have it networked.

History:
I installed Fedora 10 not too long ago and it was running fairly well (it was slow but that's due to hardware). I was able to access the Internet, download updates and install applications. I typically leave the computer logged off but powered on. One day, I discovered the computer had powered off. I powered it back on. The screen resolution was 960 x 600 and there was no network connection. I stopped almost all the processes and rebooted the computer. The screen resolution returned to normal but the network connection remained disabled.

I check Network Connections. System eth0 has "never" (what does that mean?) beside it and it's properties are disabled (grayed out). I check Network Configurations. eth0 status is inactive.

So how do I activate it again? I have a network cable running between the computer and the modem. What else I can I do?

Not sure what happened there - may be a kernel update.

Are you running the network tool as root?

Can you click 'activate' for eth0? If not, run

service network restart

as root.

If this doesn't work, go back into the network tool (as root), delete the interface and recreate it.

Run the following in terminal

ifup eth0
/etc/init.d/network restart

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions!

I ran Network Configuration (System => Administration => Network), edited eth0 and checked the option "activatve device when computer starts". I rebooted and it's now back.
