I am having networking issues after installing Fedora Core 7. After
updating using the live update the networking no longer works.
I have found that booting using the original kernel
2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 works however booting using the new kernel,
creating after running the live update, no longer
works(2.6.33.4-65.fc7)
After running the new Kernel network manager will try to connect
then say it is connect. All attempts to use the network will fail.
I am running Fedora Core 7 with a Extreme Striker motherboard. It
has a Duo Core 2.4GZ processor with Nvidia Corporation MCP55
controller.
My cable mode is attached to eth1.
Here is the boot log:
The relevant messages are:
NetworkManager: <info> Device eth1 activation scheduled...
...
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4
...
NetworkManager: <info> Device 'eth1' DHCP transaction
took too long (>45s), stopping it.
The failure is happening in DHCP. The DHCP server (cable modem?) is
not responding to the request for configuration on eth1. After the
failure to obtain a configuration (IP address), NetworkManager falls
back to configuring a (useless) link local address.
I have no idea *why* there's no response from your DHCP server.
