Another Networking problem

[fxstb02]

I'm not exactly a newbie to Linux, but am new to Fedora and am having problems getting my computer to network.
It's a Dell 8200 and I've wiped Windows XP off and installed Fedora Core 6 without any issues. With the previous XP, no problems getting to the network.
I actually have two computers plugged into a Linksys 4-port router; one is a Dell 8400 with XP and the previously mentioned 8200 with Fedora.
Looking at other posts, I believe that I've done all the items that have already been posted:

Using about:config I've set network.nds.disableIPV6 to FALSE

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 a line is already there for:
IPV6INIT=no

/etc/modprobe.conf has the following lines:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

/etc/resolv.conf has the following lines:
; generate by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 204.127.203.135
nameserver 204.148.225.135

Using Network Configuration under I see that eth0 is active and selecting the DNS tab I see the same Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses

If I "ifconfig eth0" I can see that the IP address is 192.168.1.101, and my XP computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.100

I have both Firewall Options and SEWLinux set to disabled.

If I disconnect the network cable and reboot and watch the processes start up:
Bringing up interface eth0 FAILED
Plug the cable back in, restart:
Bringing up interface eth0...done.

route -n shows the following:
Kernal IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
(sorry, this isn't all lined up...I typed it in, but hopefully you can understand what it says)

I cannot connect to my router using the Fedora box, but can with the XP box.

I can't ping anything from my Fedora computer, except itself. I can't ping my Fedora box from my xp box, but can ping everything else.

Using a LiveCD version of Basilisk it connects, I can ping everthing and everthing can ping it, can connect to my router, etc. complete Re-installed Fedora and still no luck.

Sorry for being so long winded, but I wanted to be thorough. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance,

What is your network card? I had a problem with Fedora loading two drivers (tulip and dmfe) for my Davicom card and they conflicted, causing symptoms like yours. I simply removed the tulip.ko driver so it couldn't be loaded and after rebooting all was well.

Thanks for the reply wneumann,
It's a Lynksys Etherfast 10/100 Lan Card.
Of course, I had to pull it out to look at it. Now that I've reseated it, it's working fine. Very odd, but I'm on! Yes, I can ping stuff, access the router, get on the internet, etc.
Although it wasn't what you suggested, you're asking made me reseat the card which, in turn fixed the problem.
Odd that it worked o.k. with Basilisk, but who am I to ask.

Thanks again wneumann,
