Hi!
I have installed Fedora 15 on my desktop & facing problem with connecting to the Internet. I'm using SSV Internet (LAN based network) which uses the 24Online Cyberoam client in Windows for connection & authentication. I have downloaded & installed the cyberoam linux client but it fails to connect.
If anyone is using SSV internet connection on Fedora 15, please guide me how to enable connectivity.
Regards, Sarfaraz Kazi
Hi,
I am using SSV connection on Ubuntu 10.10.
Configure your network according to the settings provided by SSV. Unpack crcllient then just execute following command: ./crclient -u user_name
They bind your ethernet MAC id. So if you are already using their connection on windows box you need to set your windows mac in linux.

So you are using SSV connection from another system running windows? 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.
otherwise you can just call them and ask for binding new mac address.

I'm dual booting WinXP & Fedora 15.

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.
Thanks & Regards, Sarfaraz Kazi

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

In modern Linux desktops, there are issues with editing config files directly as the GUI utilities like 'Network Manager' do not use these settings and require the config files to be blank. In some cases what happens is that after editing the config file, the internet works in command line but not desktop. It is best to use the gui in such cases. For instructions, Sarfaraz could look up google.

Hi Rony,
I have no issues using the Network Manager gui but for some reason on my Fedora 15 install the "Options" button always stays in disabled state.
I'll be trying Sachin's instructions over the weekend & report back how it goes.
Thanks & Regards, Sarfaraz Kazi
