no internet connection



Hi! i have a problem, i'm a begginer in using linux, please can you tell me how to connect fedora 20 to internet through an ethernet cable?
Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet?
that is where i'd start as well. osi...
so:
1. physical link (maybe check the patch panel and the cabling that's involved in connecting to the computer, maybe swap cables and try a usb to ethernet adapter to rules the nic out.
2. data link - check the switches and switchports on the way. maybe try to use different portts
3. network - most likely not an issue if all the other computers are working fine...
etc.
but this is pretty much it: Windows 7 is the operating system for your computer and it must have one to function. You have to install another operating like Windows XP or Vista and then you will be able to use the net. If you have not done this before, you should propably find someone who has to help you. i assume your new router is wireless?

limited access with wireless usually means you don't have a valid ip address assigned. you need two things for a working internet connection. 1. you need a physical connection, known as layer 1 and layer 2. 2. you need a logical connection known as layer 3.

if you've got the limited access message that means your laptop has a working wireless connection at layers 1 and 2. what you don't have is the layer 3 connection i.e. an ip address.

there could be a number of reasons why this is happening. i would suggest that you start by powering your pc down - shut it off completely not just hibernate it or just shut the lid. next power down the router, pull the power cord out of it. let the router sit unplugged for about 2 minutes. power the router back up......wait about 2 min more. power your pc back up.

learn how to use the command line command "ipconfig". you access the command line via the accessories folder on windows. when you get the c:/> prompt - enter the command "ipconfig" hit enter. in the group of stuff on the screen you want to see an ip addess assigned to the wireless interface. when you get the limited access message the first thing you want to do is check to see if you have an ip address assigned.

if the above trick doesn't work, then i suspect there is something wrong with your network configuration on your pc. if you take your laptop to a starbucks does it work there? hello sixthring,

i respect your knowledge and opinion.

i think me and you are having a disconnect on what we are discussing. you are 100% correct that openfire itself must be configured with a fqdn in the settings. this is the issue diego is having, his openfire install was configured as his ip ad… hello [@lig](/u/lig) and welcome to the community. please read the stuff in [#start-here](/c/start-here/96) category when you have the time.

well. i think you are fine with the fact that fedora 33 is still pre-beta, so it is difficult to find support here. in addition, bugs are expected.

as a rule of thumb, you should install … thank you [@colin](/u/colin)! i enabled port 1880 on my pi using "sudo ufw allow 1880" and after it worked! Power off the router. 


Get yourself a copy of TeraTerm (it is old, but good)  

Connect your PC serial port to the CON port on the router and run TeraTerm, configured for the serial port, at 9600, 8 bits, no parity.


Press return a few times, and make sure you can see the output from the router.


Power off the router.  

Power it back on again, and when you see something, send a ‘BREAK’ by pressing Alt+B  

The router shoud return a boot> prompt.  

Type 


<b>config-reg 0x2142</b>


Then type


<b>boot</b>


Let the router load, and it will come up with the prompts asking if you want to use the configuration utility.  

Say <b>NO</b> to this.


Type the following when it gets to the > prompt


<b>en  

copy start run</b>  

{press return to the prompts from this command}


When it has finished


<b>show run</b>


Check and see if it has an ‘enable password’ command or an ‘enable secret’


<b>conf t  

config-reg 0x2102  

enable secret {whatever you want as a password}  

no enable password</b> (if it has one of these)  

<b>end  

wr</b>


And the password is changed. 


You should reboot to make the config register change, and also to confirm the password has changed correctly. 


I did all this from memory, so if it doesn’t work, then post here and I will double check, or someone will point out my stupid mistake 😉 first of all, you need to check if you are using a self-signed certificate.

if so, you have to accept it first: double-clicked on the request in the network pane, and ow prompted you whether you wanted to accept the certificate.

other option will be to use the [overwolf.web.sendhttprequest()](http://developers.overwolf.com/documentation/sdk/overwolf/web/#sendhttprequest) funct… OK, Problem fixed. If anyone else comes across this problem: I was able to install the new driver by using Intel's EXE version rather than the zip version and disconnecting from the inet. Everything went fine. sign in? as long as you are connected to the same network there is no need to sign in. you can download the sonos app, launch it, then choose "connect to an existing system". there are certain menus in the settings area that will require the username/password of the sonos account used to setup, but you can use all the other features right away.
