Fedora 5 LAN problem with WAN

[Joe W. Byers]

Wolfgang

YOU DA MAN! Thank you very much.  That was my problem.  I never looked 
on that tab of my RHEL4 network configuration to compare with the Fedora 5.

I am pleased with Fedora 5 but for the difficulties setting up the 
network.  I hope this is mainly because of the old HP computer and non 
standard wireless usb adapter that is not supported or at least not 
shown to be used by ndiswrapper on their website.  We will see 
especially when I have to upgrade my kernel and recompile ndiswrapper.

Again,  Thank you very much

joe
