silb Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 My office has 4 pc's that are currently networked on an office windows LAN. We are trying to change the office over to Linux. I have installed Linux Fedora Core 4 on one PC but it doesnt detect our network. Anyone have any advice/solutions on how to solve this problem or can recommend an alternative version of Linux that may be more suitable for our requirements. Thanks.

Presuming your network card is installed correctly and all the hardware/cabling is correct and functioning : open up a shell and type : ifconfig you should have an "eth0" network interface check that the subnet mask and IP are compatable with the subnet of the of the 4 windows machines. if not, then change your network settings for eth0 on the linux box.
