[SOLVED] network configuration fc15

[zerokewl]

hi,

i just installed fc15 on a virtual machine and since i wanted to learn how to configure it manually, i chose minimal installation. i have referring the deployment guide, now im trying to configure the network interface.

what are the steps i have to follow when i install a new network interface manually?

no GUI tools are available here because of the minimal installation. im stucked

thank you.

Hi

Since it's a virtual guest, chances are the network interface is recognised but just to be sure, as root

lspci|grep Ether

You should see a listing for a Network interface

or

dmesg|grep eth

You should see if there is a line that says Enabling interface or renaming eth0 to pci2p1 (something similar)

If you see either one of the outputs then you can simply configure it manually by editing the config file

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
service network restart

or

system-config-network-tui
service network restart

or

ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y
route add default gw your.LAN.gateway.ip

hello aazkan,
Thank you very much for taking your time to write this.

You should see if there is a line that says Enabling interface or renaming eth0 to pci2p1 (something similar)

this was the problem. it was named as p2p1. since, i didn't have lspci installed and there were no replies at that time, i tried reading everything and figured it out.

now it works fine.



Thanks again.
