Can You Help ExcruciationX? Again?

The next chilling chapter of the ExcruciationX chronicles details his futile attempts to connect to the internet via his Fedora Core 6 PPC iBook.

The internet doesn't work, and he has absolutely no idea on how to get it working again. But, we do know one thing readers! He is pissed off, and is ready to punch someone's face in after an hour of trying!

Okay, I'm trying to connect to Comcast Cable via my iBook. It used to work, but do to an odd problem, I had to wipe it clean. So, now when it gets to the "Determining IP Information From Eth0..." at bootup, it sits there for almost a minute and a half and then fails. Is it some dumb thing in it's configuration?

??? 0_o ???
i wish i could help but i have no clue

Anybody else?

If you get connection at the start i wouldnt imagine its the OS's fault.

honestly sounds like it trying to use dhcp( or maybe you need to tell it to use dhcp!!) to assign an ip address and not finding one.Check your connections first then your modem and also try out the internet connection with other pc's

The Windows XP machine hooked up to it works just fine.

And, yeah, it's using DHCP. I could look at the modems information and connect to it via a static connection.

People, I still need help.

Any other suggestions?
