[SGVLUG] connecting fedora to att uverse

[via SGVLUG]

(Apologies for the delayed reply)

"cannot get wire network connection via ATT Uverse modem."

I also have UVERSE

This may help (I use Debian, and connected via ethernet, then wifi:

http://mrflash818.livejournal.com/tag/att

"Used a wired connection to the ATT/Uverse gateway, logged into the
configuration via http://192.168.1.254 [1] (for my hardware, the
default passphase to log into the gateway is the 'device access
code.')"

I never had to play with any DNS settings or such. 'It just worked.'
All I had to play with were the WIFI settings, to use my own PSK WPA2
key.

 Try /sbin/ifconfigand /sbin/route

We are looking to see if your network device was set up correctly and
if it got an IP from your modem.

Compare this to what you see on your laptop.

I did use the primary and secondary DNS address for Fedora network
setup but I don't see

a "DNS search path".

There are some messages from four years ago on the intertubes about
this... no idea if they're still valid.

Does 'ping -n 8.8.8.8' work?  If it does, maybe you have a simple dns
problem...

What does 'ifconfig' say?
