What do you get when you type
ifconfig eth0
in a terminal sessino?
How is your card configured, through network or network manager? Are
you set up to use DHCP or do you have a static configuration set?
As requested:
I am using standard desktop linux at home.
: Standard cable internet provided by COX (or I switch to Verizon soon) at
my house
: No wireless, no fancy stuff, just typical home user
: Typical DHCP I assume (whatever default Fedora does)
: The router is an Encore ENsomenumber, about 1-2 years old
: Yes my route table goes blank when I connect router
Also, I noticed after reset-ing the router that all LED lights shine except
POWER light,
so I think that's just a broken LED.
I'm not in front of my computer now, so I can't run ifconfig command yet.
I will run ifconfig asap, but as far as I can remember, it did not fix the
problem when I last
attempted it (I believe around mid-June).
I've had this issue since February (and Fedora 10).
One day my router-setup just didn't work anymore. had to plug directly to
wall / cablemodem
Thanks for your patience
