Hi;
I have been delving into (messing around with) my network connections
and now I can't get Network Manger or my browsers to work.
This post attests to the fact that there is some physical connection to
my ISP cable connection and my eth0 is active; xchat and FM Radio on
Rhythmbox work.
On booting, NetworkManager is listed as 'failed' -- "setting
NetworkManger waiting for network - failed". Then,
"httpd: could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain
name using 127.0.0.1 for server name."
]$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:92:E5:DC:47

I was screwing around, experimenting, with the system-control-network
gui -- incorrectly added stuff to the 'hosts' page and saved. I got a
message to the effect 'we will save this stuff, but we are going to
disconnect you for badness". I was duly disconnected.
I have removed the 'bad stuff' from /etc/hosts and saved.
hosts now reads :
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 CASE localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
As it did when everything was working.
What am I missing? Where do I find it? Where is my DNS or whatever?
Why is there no help for the Network manager? Why is the 'Edit
Connections' on the Network Manager blank? And what does
NetworkManager Tool really mean?
]$ nm-tool

How can I fill these in from the command line?
This is a very improbable long shot, but worth checking any ways. In the
system-config-network control preflet, see if you can find a checkbox
that says something like "Managed by NetworkManager" and make sure it's
checked. I was in the system-config-network panel one day to add a hosts
file entry and suddenly lost network connectivity afterwards. After
poking at it for an hour I found that settting had been unchecked some
how. Although I doubt that's it in your case, I hope it's something
equally simple.
