cannot download file in fedora 10 + firefox

[seapeers]

Hi friends;

I'm new to linux system. This is the first linux system that i use. Please advise;
I install linux fedora 10 on my vmware 6. Using the network adapter (bridge connection and replicate). When i try to download file from joomla through firefox browser, it can not download. I used both right click and left click of the mouse to download; when using right click and "save as" it shows "the download cannot be saved because an unknown error occured. Please try again".


Do i have to stop any service or something to allow firefox to download. I also try the wget function in terminal service and it show almost the same.

Thank you so much.

Are you doing this as a regular user?

as root take a look in /var/log/messages

tail -f /var/log/messages

then, hit Enter a few times to give you some blank lines so it's easier to follow

then try wget again and see if it spits out any errors.

To me it sounds like a possible permission problem.

Resolving joomlacode.org... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `joomlacode.org'
[root@localhost joomla]#

this is what i found after tail and wget again

There's your problem. It looks like either joomlacode.org is down, but I was just there. Or you need to go over your network settings.

as root in an xterm or your favorite terminal run

redhat-config-network

I'd guess you pretty much want it all set up as dhcp

Can you give me instructions? Please. I'm using Fedora 10 on VMWARE? Do you need to see the capture screens?

By the way, I can surf the internet but cannot download files?

[mikesd]

Try downloading someting else from a different site. see if that works.

if not post the screenshots.

you may need to do

ipconfig /all

in a dos prompt and change some numbers in linux

This is the result of ifconfig in my fedora
