How do I fix an internet connection problem?
When I login as a user and/or root the first place I login ends up owning my internet connection. Eg. If I first login as root I can use mozilla or epiphany with no problem, but if I subsequently logout and log backin as a user my IP is not available. This remains true whether I use my IP or not as root.
It is the same for user, if I login to user first and then subsequently to root, root has lost the connection.
I know I have set up something wrong, but what?
I am using: Fedora Core 2
eth0 + dhcp + dynamic DNS + router/gateway + cable modem - a simple straight forward configuration!
Adding aliases doesn't seem to work?
If the problem is permission, what permissions do I change?
Could changing the hostname through the Gnome system-config-network 1.3.17 gui but nowhere else be causing problems?
