I am trying to connect to the internet in Fedora. I have a SB4100 cable modem plugged into my lan. Do I need to plug in the USB? Or how do I connect it to the internet using cable modem? It did not detect any internet connection during setup. Also I did a printout for my ip configuration from dos and it shows DHCP being enabled. Any ideas? Thanks.


Here is my ifconfig output

Ok I just did a dhcpclient command and it returned:

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

What kind of network card do you have?

Sorry so long but I have been very busy but here is an update. I was not able to get any linux of any version to work except Knoppix and Knoppix STD. I will settle with these two for now until I learn more about linux. I have a built in network card on my mobo. Thanks for the help.
