This is not very helpful. And if you want to make it go away, why not
just uninstall it, or just turn it off?

I have ubuntu 8.1 on my laptop and installed fedora 11 on my desktop.
I checked all my settings on fedora against ubuntu and they are the

to locate the server and system update says problem connecting to
software source. is there a command I can issue in the terminal that
will allow internet access. I am not real famlar with terminal
commands. Thanks.
There might be such a command, but we won't know until we know what the
problem is.
Check the IP address you are getting from Ubuntu (use /sbin/ifconfig, if
you like). The address you are showing, 192.168.2.2, is a "local" IP,
which you should only get if you have a router. The interesting question
is not whether the IPs are exactly the same, but whether the Ubuntu one
is also in the 192.168.2.* range. If it is not, then for some reason
Fedora is not getting an IP. If it is, then
Become root, and post the output of:
grep NetworkManager < /var/log/messages
Post the output of "/sbin/route", too, and also "cat /etc/resolv.conf"
while you're at it. For both Ubuntu and Fedora.

PS Post things to the list. Someone else might see better than I will
what the problem is.
