Fedora 10 Network Configuration issue

[Neel Singh]

hi 2 all,
I am new to fedora. I have two problems
1) The problem i faced i already disscussed at

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=212936

I have installed 64 Bit Fedora 10 on a computer. I am having a strange problem configuring the eth0 device. I try to set a static IP address. The problem is whatever I type in the Default Gateway Address becomes the Subnet Mask. So I type in the IP, then the Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0, then the Gateway of 10.10.1.2. I push OK, leave the tab, then return to it. When I return, both the Subnet Mask AND the Default Gateway are 255.255.0.0.

I tried the solution
Close down system-config-network and run ifdown eth0
then
cd to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and edit the file called ifcfg-eth0 and fill in the relevent details.
ifup eth0 and you should now be right.

but after entering ifup eth0
the terminal says
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid arguments.


2) I am using Acer quad core Desktop machine. Can I connect Wi-fi also in the linux like that one in a Laptop.
Please help.
Thanks
Dev

Neel Singh, thank you for your post.

Could you try the following:

* cd to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

* more the ifcfg-eth0 file and provide a snippet of the results.

From this data, will see what's up.
