FC14:No wired network,neither the wireless...

[adam1son]

Hi
i've MSI VR440-X laptop, installed FC14 yesterday,and i can't connect to the internet.
there's red box containing 'x' which means that the cable is disconnected,which i know is connected and i can reboot and connect to the internet from either ubuntu or win xp i have on my system.
the network hardware is (output from lshw command on ubuntu):

*-network
             description: Ethernet interface
             product: 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
             vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
             physical id: 4
             bus info: pci@0000:00:04.0
             logical name: eth0

             capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical
             configuration: broadcast=yes driver=sis190 driverversion=1.4

and the wireless:

*-network DISABLED

thanks in advance.

What happens when you run ifconfig or ifconfig eht0 up?

[adam1son]

thanks Mister B for your reply.
when i ran ifconfig,i noticed that there's no ipv4 data.
i then ran 'sudo ifup etho' which solved the problem for the wired connection.thank you.it's strange that the internet connection is disabled by default.

I am very new when it comes to troubleshooting and I have the same problem of the eth0 not up but then I ran ifconfig and ifconfig eth0 up, I received nothing. and also when I ran sudo ifup etho, I ended up with a this message:

** (Process:2382): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'State' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

State: unknown
Error: Connection activation failed.

Can someone tell me what to do?

I upgraded from Fedora 13 64bit to Fedora 14 64 bit and the above problem cropped up.

Become root via "su -" in a terminal window

then run system-config-network

Make sure the eth0 or wlan0 interface you want to use in there looks good:

go to Devices tab -> Edit button
Controlled by NetworkManager -> checked
Activate device when computer starts -> checked
Automatically obtain IP address settings with: -> checked and "dhcp" in the menu
if you make any changes, use File->Save and then File->Quit in the menu

Also make sure that the NetworkManager service is on and not network service while you're still in
the root account by running the system-config-services tool

Also for additional information, I ran a ping test as follows:
ping localhost - ping test good.
Ping 192.168.1.99 and it found that also (the static address of the machine) - ping test good.
and ping 192.168.1.1 (the router its self) - ping test failed.

that is when Linux said it was active but I could not get out.

i had the same problem after i change some thing in SELinux, but i disabled SELinux and the network service and this error message gone, but still no internet connection.
i can see the network's ESSID but can't connect... what can i do now?

Update: I turned off NetworkManager and could connect normally by iwconfig wlan0 essid mynetwork AND dhclient wlan0
so this mean that the problem is with NetworkManager? if it is how can i solve that?
Thank you!

Looks like we have the same problem. To my post however, nobody has responded yet. Since the upgrade to F14, I can occasionally ping over wired. And although my wireless adapters are detected, they can't be activated. NetworkManager is stated as dead in the service-manager. Together with your problem, it sounds like at least a NetworkManager issue, but probably more.

After re-installing NetworkManager and he's libs its works now...
You tried it?

I had the same problem after reinstalling the OS and apps. The problem is you cannot get to contact anyone for help unless you know how to use IRC. that is where the the fedora support team is hiding and I do not know how to use IRC. I think they are trying to drive potential users away Fedora. I ended up using CentOS as a server based OS and am still struggling with fedora as a desktop. I was also told that it was the firewall that was killing the network connection, but have not tested that.

You're kidding right?

How can I reinstall? Using the same version again from the installation disc? Without it I have no luck with either wired or wireless. Again I can ping via wired with massive package-loss, but that's as far as it goes.
