ACER Aspire 5630 LAPTOP !!

[adarsh]

Hi,
I successfully installed FEDORA 7 on my laptop. Acer Aspire 5630 model. Now the problem with some configuration.

My Laptop configuration as Follows:

Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

I think at the time of installation it detected all these network adapters, 'coz in statring it shows determining IP for eth0 and determining ip for wireless, but the problem is that my company's wireless network is there and wi-fi is also there, and company server is of windows 2003.

When I try to access my company wi-fi or wired lan it is not able to access. I try to set IP address manually but not able to get any option where to set the IP.

Please help me on these issue.

To set the IP, select Administration > Network Configuration

Then you will see your interfaces, select one and click the edit button. Then you can configure it.

Thanks for replying...I tried this option, but I am not able to see any network adapter, in that.

[ppesci]

Of course, they are, I just downloaded it and uncompress it. There are instructions on how to install in a file "readme". You are not trying to find a network adapter, you must to get the driver for your adapter.

[adarsh]

ok, i will try hope it will work, also please tell me if i need to access windows server can it be accessible or i need to configure something for that.

[ppesci]

Sorry, my fault, that was the answer for another post.

lspci

[adarsh]

[ppesci]

Get a terminal and type this command:

The command generate some output, copy the output and put here, in this thread. I need to know what card are you using.

[ppesci]

All appear to be fine, you are sending and receiving packets without errors.

May be the router company has a firewall or not properly configurated?

Can you use an existing IP and configuration borrowed from a existing working machine?. Shut that machine down first.

Do that and put your findings here.

HTH

[adarsh]

i borrowed this ip address from one of the existing machine from the network, my company is not using windows 2003 server and people here are using proxy server. as well all machine in network are windows based.
i m only the client how is using fedora 7,

[ppesci]

Can you ping to another address in the same net? That's it some machine near you?.

Can other machines ping to you?
