Hi Friends,
One of my friend has Compaq Presario V3029A LAPTOP. He has configured WIFI provided by our college on Windows XP (it was a breeze).
Now we are planning to configure it in FC5 (Fedora core 5)......
The college has given us following details.......
1. Two DNS server IPs: which I will insert it in /etc/resolv.conf in following manner:
nameserver A.B.C.D
nameserver W.X.Y.Z
where A.B.C.D & W.X.Y.Z are any two DNS server ips provided by the college. (My friend has it , i don't remember it exactly)
2. Then Second thing College has given us is a static ip for the LAPTOP. Thus using "netconfig" command I will assign static ip to the laptop.
3. Third thing which college has given us is proxy server ip. How to use it and where to insert it.
I know FC5 has wifi manager under internet.
First and foremost i will click wifi manager and make the laptop search the wifi network......
Can some please tell what to do after that.........and how to use that proxy server ip.
I mean what all files I am suppose to edit and what all daemons n services i m suppose to start.
What if LAPTOP fails to recognise the wifi network ?
I would really appreciate if you guys and gals can give some links for the wifi drivers if needed or any step by step configuration documentation for FC5
Actually i need to take the all the details and drivers with me to college bcoz while configuring there would be no internet and hence i can't take any online help.
Waiting for your reply.......
