You have hit the nail on the head. Your iMac is configured for DHCP and was working, but your F16 box is configured for static addressing that does not match what the "new router" is willing to accept. So, since you have the ifcfg-eth0 file available, edit the file and change the following line: BOOTPROTO=static to BOOTPROTO=dhcp You can also safely remove the lines: > IPADDR=192.168.2.8 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > NETWORK=192.168.2.0 > GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 > DNS1=206.13.31.12 > DNS2=68.94.156.1 > DOMAIN=pacbell.net which contain the incorrect static settings. --Rob -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
