Here's what you do.
In Vista go to a command prompt and type ipconfig and post it here.                 192.168.1.2
In Fedora get a terminal session and type ifconfig and post it here.                     Command not found – through status of connection ip-comes to be 192.168.1.1
In vista do a nslookup from a command prompt for your favorite web site and check that it returns the correct DNS address.           192.168.1.0
In Fedora do the same from a terminal and check that you get the correct address.                                                        
In Vista from a command prompt try pinging the gateway and confirm that you can reach the gateway.               YES
In Fedora do the same and confirm that  you can reach the gateway.                                                                  Unreachable host

In vista are you using the WiFi Connection rather than the wired. If so use the wired in both cases so we get the same results. Both are Wired

In both cases the default gateway should be the broadband router and the DNS server will also be the same address as the gateway (This will depend on make and model of the router). 

I need this information to catch the problem.

Yes I do have a broadband connected to external modem. When I pug-in the LAN cable, it says connected, but nothing works! I verified the ip-address but it’s not the one which I get while running vista. 

I need a detail diagnose procedure to catch the problem.

Ok.
Do you have a connection such as broadband?
It seems your first problem is getting connected to the internet.
I think you need to setup a wired link to your router first with DHCP enable and see what happens.
There are no security settings so you should just connect.  From there we can proceed with the other problems.

Let the updater update everything.

In Add/Remove packages, I’m not able view anything. It says, “unable to load the package view list, it should be done at backend”.

Is it because I’m not able connect to internet, and the list has to be downloaded from http server?

Look in Add/remove packages and search for Pulse.
The first item should be this.
Enable pulseaudio support in KDE.

It's unlikely  the Nvidia driver would stop sound working.

Hello,

My laptop multimedia-keys(HP smart keys) works fine in GNOME desktop but doesn’t work with KDE.

Also, Internet is not getting configured. When I plugin the LAN wire, it says connected and the ip address displayed is different to what I see in windows. I have a external modem connected to broadband service provider.

Please provide suggestion to configure the above.

Thanks,

Gyan

Rpmfusion is easy to set up: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/

The nvidia-driver is propietary but you are allowed to use it as you own the card, so you sould not care about licensing issues about it. Only philosofical issues for being using a propietary binary thing into your free kernel.

The audio card can be a problem. You first have to identify the chipset and know if alsa supports it, you can start in alsa's web site instructions for new alsa users: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

Good luck!

Hey, but am more worried about the Audio card. I tried with F10 KDE live CD but no sound was audible! Also how do I get rpm-fusion usage license?

Is their any alternate method to get sound working on my laptop?

Nvidia graphics will be supported if you use rpm fusion non-free repository, the processor is supported, the touchpad too, the network card too, but the tv tunner the audo codec and the HP MeadiaSmart thing should be check before. The best thing is trying first with a live cd and check that everything works out of the box. With a live cd you should not have proper video aceleration as it will use the default nv driver for your nvidia card until you set up rpmfusion and install nvidia propietary kernel, so don't worry about the video performance.

Hello,

Hey, did anyone tried Fedora(F10) on HP dv5-1210tx laptop. Following are the specs of my laptop

1.      Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz

2.      NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS/9600M GT Video/Graphic

3.      Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

4.      HP Integrated Digital TV Tuner

5.      IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC

6.      Realtek PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC

7.      HP MediaSmart

Am scared of whether the above mentioned sound/graphics and network hardware’s would work or NOT? Please provide feedback!
