Please guide me on this part (setting the windows MAC).
So you are using SSV connection from another system running windows?
I'm dual booting WinXP & Fedora 15.
to find mac in xp
http://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-MAC-Address-of-Your-Computer
Which Windows OS you are using? For the
particular version of windows
search for finding MAC/physical address of ethernet card. Note that
address.
Suppose this address is 11:22:33:44:55:66
enter following command in fedora:
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 11:22:33:44:55:66
then again try to connect.
Got it, thanks!
One more query, when you talk about setting up the network details in
Fedora, do you mean that I have to edit the /etc/networks file. The
options
button in "Network Settings" is always disabled hence I'm not able to
change the network settings through GUI. Please guide.
I had used fedora long back. I don't know about ui. to configure network
i.e. ip address,
default gateway and dns settings enter following commands.
ifconfig eth0 ip_address/cidr (to configure ip address)
route add default gw default_gw (to set default gateway)
vim /etc/resolv.conf -> put following lines
nameserver dns_ip
nameserver dns_second_ip
you need to run these commands using sudo.

to configure network settings permanently you need to edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
