Hi,
 
I installed Fedora 14 and tried to connect to internet via bsnl broadband connection using an user id and password.
 
I created Ethernet and xdsl
 
xdsl(BSNL) is getting active, but ethernet(eth0) is not activating.
When i was trying to activate it getting following error
 
Determining IP information for eth0.../etc/init.d/functions: line 51: /dev/stderr: Permission denied
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 51: /dev/stderr: Permission denied
 
Please kindly help me in connection my linux system to internet.
 
Thanking You,
Rajkumar
