Internet activation

[Crzyrev]

Greetings! I recently installed Fedora 11 on my pc. I previously have installed Fedora 8, 9, and 10. However, this time I did a clean install instead of an upgrade. The thing is, I need help getting internet access or setting up the internet access within Fedora 11. Can anyone assist me in this by taking me through the necessary steps? Thanks, RA

Are you talking wired or wireless?

Did you network cards work fine under previous versions of Fedora? Are they not working now?

Hi!
I have a wireless network here at home. The main pc/desktop is the system that has Fedora 11 installed and is wired directly to the modem/router. All the home personal computers are working fine via wireless connection. The system did work fine in Fedora 10 and previous versions. I just do not know how to set up internet access on my pc. Thanks, RAJ

@birajinlinux: Please start a new thread detailing your problem.

@Crzyrev: I still am not clear on what is going wrong that you need help with. Please be more specific about what you've done and what isn't working. This site may help: Personal Fedora 11 Installation Guide

My problem is that I cannot access the internet. I do not know how to setup access to the internet. Is this helpful? Thanks, RAJ

First of all let's make sure you have an IP address. What is the output of:

ifconfig

If you do have an IP address let's see if you can ping anywhere with the command

ping www.linuxforums.org

Please also post the output of

lspci

and

lsmod

EDIT: Actually, I think Fedora you need the full path for lspci so

/sbin/lspci

to ifconfig:
