Hey guys and gals,
 
Thank you for all your helpful posts and for welcoming me so nicely.
 
I know have a pc at home (a friend of mine gave me his old one). I have a new problem for you to think about (if you would like to)
 
The network card worked fine to install Fedora Core 5 on top of Windows 98 from the internet. When Windows had been wiped and Fedora was installed, I managed (with a little trouble) to connect to the internet and get all my e-mails etc (lovely 206 of them *sigh*)
 
Then the next morning after switching on, the network card seemed to be found but would not connect to the outside world. Nothing had changed and I can't work out why this has happened.
 
I have deleted all the network settings and rebooted, this didn't help, so I took out the network card and re-seated it. Again nothing happened.  The only thing I can think of that I have not tested is the network cable that runs into my housemates router. This also hasn't changed or moved and we checked the router. He is getting a connection.
 
Puzzled now.
 
Any suggestions before I buy a new network card and start again?
