Just loaded Fedora Core 4
#1

Please bear with me, complete noob to linux :/

 

Just loaded FC4 for the first time las night. First mission is to get it connected to the net :)

 

My laptop hasn't got a network card init (yet) but for the moment I am connected via a USB network thing (According to my network configuration, under Hardware, its a Pegasus/Pegasus II USB and yes, its Ethernet). The light on this is flashing, so I know connection is going into there.

 

I've tried pinging 192.168.0.1 in terminal and all I get back is "Network is unreachable". I've also tried the browser, can't connect.

 

I've logged into my router (which is a Netgear DG834G) and looked at connected devices and it only shows up as this desktop being connected.

 

Any idea's how I can get connected?

I've gone to internet configuration wizard and that has almost got me connected *feels such a dunce :/ * well I can ping ip address, just not address.

 

Trying to figure out my hostname next :)
