[NMLUG] Wireless connection (was: [NMLUG] fedora basic questions)

[Ed at Heron-ent.com (Ed Heron)]

  The question is what IP addresses did you friends get?  Have you used your 
Wireless Access Point before?  Could they ping your Linux box?  Could they 
get to the outside world?

  How does the Counter Strike server work?  Is it publically accessible and 
port forwarded?  Does it think it is your public IP address or does it know 
it's real address?  Are your friends connecting to it using a public server 
clearance kinda thing, the public IP address or the private address?

  I might not be able to give advice to correct something if the answer to 
the question is unacceptable, but it might lead to the answer of why it 
didn't work.

Thanks for the tips.  I just wanted to know if Fedora did something that 
would have overwritten the initab on a reboot.


I have hit another issue. I have a fedora box at home that I run Counter 
strike source server on. When I had a few friends over and they tried to 
connect to it via a WIFI connection, they were not able to connect.

Does Fedora have an setting that does not allow it to communicate to wifi 
point on the network?  I'm using a DWL-624 router. The WIFI cards are 
Motorola bridge, DWL-122, DWL-G650. None worked. I try to ping from the 
linux box and I can see the outside world fine. and the gateway. 192.168.0.1 
but none of the connections that are wifi....

Thanks in advance.

You'll want to set it to boot to runlevel 2 rather than runlevel 5.
