[wplug] Fedora Core 3 internet connection

[Petrucci, Joseph]

Is your network interface active on startup or are you activating it on logon (or after). I ran into this problem on a laptop I was starting with the wireless and wired ethernet inactive then choosing my connection after that. I put the localhosts(127.0.0.1) entry in the /etc/hosts file and it stopped it.

Hi Matt, 

I found the DVD for Fedora Core.  Do you still want it?

Greg
