I sent this several days ago, and it didnt make it to the list, Im

--------------------
I am just now bringing up Fedora14 (Ive been running Fedora11).
Something has changed, since the way I have always done things to
bring up networking just doen't work.
I can setup
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
either by hand or using the system-config-network script, and everything
LOOKS ok, but I can not ping this machine from the outside, nor can I
ping from it to another machine on the same network.
The hardware is fine, since I have Knoppix running on the machine at the
moment (to verify that the machine and its cables were ok) and its
networking came up just fine.
So, what's changed between Fedora11 and Fedora14, other than setting
up the above files (or using system-config-network) what do I need to
do???
Thanks in advance.
system-config-firewall? You might have the firewall enabled (I think it's on
by default) which may be dropping all ICMP packets. Can you get out to the
internet? Do you know for sure that the network is NOT working or do you
just assume that it's not working since you can't ping the machine? :-)
