^exactly. LOL!

@NG aka "unknown":try switch OFF & ON ur modem while in fedora.then run(ALT+F2):

gksu system-config-services

^restart suspected services.

I've disabled IPv6 but still the same prob
heres the output of network restart

[NucleusKore]

Why is DHCPDISCOVER running, haven't you disabled dhcp? Please do so and assign a static ip. Also restart the network post the output of your ifconfig

[praka123]

@chaitanya:the problem is network is unreachable.I am not an expert with n/wing;still it seems that u have to edit the local ip range and/or subnet mask

what about the o/p of subnet mask and be clear,are u on fedora?

also,if u have network-manager thing installed on ur distro,why not purge it out?it is for n00b's who cannot do any network settings.

and what is this service?reliance broadnet using a router ? with webbased activation?

anyways observe the o/p of

route

also acc.to google reliance IP address is like 123.236.x.x or 124.x.x.x etc which is class A afaik so,In router,u may have to set these esp SUBNETMASK value to things may be.also this VPI/VCI things too needs to be noted.
I think reliance CC must be asked regarding the technical details like VPi/VCi,dhcp range,any other technical info to be done in router.

use subnet calculator to calculate if u know the ip assigned by reliance:
*www.subnet-calculator.com/

I think you should assign 255.128.0.0 as Subnetmask.try!

 

[NucleusKore]

Praka123 I'd beg to differ. I have a class "A" IP (AirTel), but my subnet mask is still 255.255.255.0
That's the job of any hardware router (or even a linux router ) to interface between two different networks. His internal network can be class C and his external can be anything else.

I still feel as you said, its an IP and subnetting problem, that's why I asked for the output of ifconfig above.

I asked for IPv6 to be disabled as Reliance DNS servers may not be configured properly to handle IPv6 requests. Also, if I am not mistaken, if IPv6 is available, the TCP/IP stack preferrably communicates in IPv6 first and then in IPv4.

So it is advisable to
1) Disable IPv6. Use the system network config tool

*img341.imageshack.us/img341/2491/netconfigdhcpak3.th.png

Select your interface, click edit, and uncheck the Enable IPv6 configuration option. Enter static IP 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0 and save.

2) Then click on manually, type gateway 192.168.1.1, primary and secondary DNS whatever Reliance gives you, or even better, OpenDNS - 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
Go Next and save your settings

3) In a terminal as root: service network restart

4) ifconfig
and post the output here

For reference: Fedora 8 Network configuration

[praka123]

yup.it is the function of h/w router to resolve the different IP classes.but..here the network is unreachable!some way subnetmask thing needs to be edited to correct value.
I think it needs the help of reliance CC to solve areas along with some linux knowledge

 

[NucleusKore]

Ok Praka123 lets see. Apparently our man here gets to use the net only at night Hope he is able to get to the bottom of this. I wonder though, why he did not have any problems with Fedora 7.

 

[praka123]

I think both @unknown and @chaitanya are facing the same problem and Chatianya is in Ubuntu .

 

[mehulved]

NucleusKore, maybe it's just a co-incidence that the problem occured at the same time he formatted.
What router do you guys have? Can you telnet into the router and try pinging outside world. Or maybe just open the router page in your browser and check.
Where does DHCP offer come from? ISP or router?
There are 2 points of failure, as I see it, one is ISP=>Router, other is Router=>PC. Check the status of both.
Also, it would be a good idea to get hold of a live cd and try it from there just to eliminate problems with the installed distro.
The Unknown, how did he connect, did he have some dialler?

Now that's an excellent idea!

*img217.imageshack.us/img217/9472/pubthefuture2cisopen466cr4.png

 

[nileshgr]

does it come with a router?esp ut300r2u?u can switch OFF the router and connect again while fedora is running.try if fedora's dhcp system detects the IP .
the simple thing u may have tried before?as root,

service network restart

I think fedora got a gui for services;right?
also restart dhcp service too.

No use. BTW, Reliance gives us an ADSL modem called UtStar....

prob lies with ur system not with ISP.... roflmao

Then how both people are facing the same problem that too in the same city ? I agree that I formatted so some settings may be erased but what about Chaitanya ?

I am still wondering how can it be a ISP problem. You said Windows is browsing fine. And since you can log into you router, the only two things left to check are
1. Default gateway (192.168.1.1)
2. Primary and Secondary DNS
3. Driver issues !!! funny but see this

Just see this too

*img217.imageshack.us/img217/9472/pubthefuture2cisopen466cr4.png

no driver issues as Local network works (between dad's lappy and my Linux box)

system->admin->network *->set it to DHCP settings

on ubunbu -> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

on fedora ->login root: /etc/init.d/network start

or else reboot

btw wats the hostname u gave while installing fedora ?

I gave no DHCP hostname while installing as I did during first time installing F7.

Can you explain how exactly you connect? You have a dialler or something? Any idea?

System Obtains Public IP -> Open web browser and go to reliancebroadband.co.in -> signin to go online

You won't believe I just woke up to post this message, it might just work.

DISABLE IPV6

Goodnight



*img217.imageshack.us/img217/9472/pubthefuture2cisopen466cr4.png

Its already disabled.

check logs, always.

which log file ? can't find one related to network in /var/log

 

[NucleusKore]

Their website just says to use DHCP. Please try a Live distro as mehulved has suggested.

I called up Reliance....asked them whether they had changed anything in the past few days....they said no.
They also said that they dont support static IP

They do support static IP but you need to pay Rs 2000/yr for one static IP

@Nucleas, I tried Gentoo 2006.0 (came with digit once). But i wasn't able to get it. It doesn't detect my Lan card.

NOTE- MY LAN CARD IS DETECTED AND WORKING IN FEDORA.

The ubuntu link is for BSNL users. There is a guide for BSNL in this forum. The topic here is about RIL.

 

[ChaiTan3]

Ok will try it on Ubuntu live cd

We were talking about static IPs in the internal network. The IP of the external network is not causing your problem. Assign static IPs, subnet, gateway, DNS as suggested above and try.

I gave you the link for the modem, no issues with linux, also to illustrate the live cd option.

@chaitanya:dhcp service-=while on livecd-try "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcdbd restart and sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
and see the o/p of "route" and ifconfig
