How to Configure Network Connection in fedora 15

Now, a days most of end-users have a common question i.e., How to configure network connection for usb-modem, mobile phone and broadband etc.

Today, I will try to cover all different types of network setup in fedora 15.

First step
First step for network configuration is to open Network Manager where you have to enter LAN and Service Provider's Info.
You can open Network Manager by:

1. Right click on the icon of two Computer -> Edit Connections
2. Left click on the icon of two Computer -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN
Or Using command:
3. $ nm-connection-editor

Now, after this you can find a small window something like this:



I. Router/modem in bridge mode.
Most of the bsnl users, use this mode of network setup.
Before you start your network setup you must need two things:
1. username provided by bsnl.
2. password provided by bsnl.

Now, click on the DSL tab of Network Manager -> Add/Edit


Enter you username and password provided by bsnl, and service can be any name. (better to use service provider's name)
At the end don't forget to "Save" your changes.

II. Router/modem in pppoe mode.
This mode of network setup is mostly used in Corporate sectors and sometime people having dual boot System.
Now, click on the Wired tab of Network Manager -> Add/Edit

Here, the IP, Netmask and other information may not be the same for your case.

Note: All the information which are entered here are similar to the information entered in case of "Network Places -> LAN Connection" in Windows XP.

III. Internet Connection on PC using Mobile Phone.
Here, mobile phone works as a modem and mobile phone is connected to PC using a data cable.
Now, click on the Wireless tab of Network Manager -> Add/Edit


From "Any Device" drop down select your device and simply follow the steps.
Note: At the end must check if APN Name is corret.

IV. For usb-modem.
For bsnl and other dial-up usb-modem, same as "I. Router/modem in bridge mode."
For other, "III. For Mobile Phone."

Tips:
1. At a time enable "Connect Automatically" for only one device.
2. There are other ways of network connection too available but all above steps are simple and less risky.

  12. @Egg:
    There are two ways you can configure your BSNL Broadband modems.
    1. Either configure everything with username and password in modem.
    Benefit:
    If your modem is "connected to System" and "Powered".
    Every time you start your machine you don't have to connect manually to internet.
    Drawback:
    Even you don't need internet your internet usage will increase.
    Suggestion:
    Either unplug power cable when you don't need internet.
    Or
    You have UL Plan. :P

    2. You can use Modem as a bridge mode and configurations will be in your System.
    Benefit:
    a) You can connect to internet only when you need.
    b) Others can't use you internet connection by connecting LAN cable to his/her PC. (without authentications)
    c) Also, if you feel you can choose to type your BSNL password every time you want to connect to internet.

    1. Thanks for your clarification. I will test whenever get some time and will inform you.

      I tried all possible suggestions sometime back, can't remember why other strategies didn't work then. I was unaware of your article then.

      Also, Network Manager got some makeover since Fedora 18 (I think) and Fedora 20 will release with some more changes. So at that time this article will need to be updated. I will test it as the Beta releases & will inform you.

      Hope you are reachable through your fedoraproject ID.

  14. Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.

    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.

    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).

    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.

    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!

  18. For a typical home network, this isn’t a really big deal — your Internet connection is the bottleneck. But there is a difference between these cables, and you can get faster local network speeds by upgrading.Did you recently pick up a new Lan Network Cable, or did you use an Ethernet cable that came bundled with a modern router or other piece of equipment? It’s probably recent enough that you don’t need to worry.
