I'm using f16, kernel-3.4.9-2.fc16.i686.PAE All was well until I starting a yum update (2 days ago), which advised that I do a complete-transactions, and some checking for dupes, and a couple of other things which I don't recall (sorry I'm not good at recalling some details). I think that was what led me to inadvertently deleted the NetworkManager stuff. Underr f16 my PC doesn't now communicate with the router. They are physically connected with an ethernet cable. (I can access the IN using a live CD {I did so with Xubuntu 10.04.2 live CD}.) In a terminal as root I get:- [root@OfficeDT boot]# man NetworkManager No manual entry for NetworkManager [root@OfficeDT boot]# NetworkManager bash: NetworkManager: command not found... yum list installed, included:- ModemManager.i686 0.5.3.96-1.fc16 @updates NetworkManager-glib.i686 1:0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16 @updates NetworkManager-gtk.i686 1:0.9.4-6.git20120521.fc16 @updates ORBit2.i686 2.14.19-2.fc15 @anaconda-InstallationRepo-201105131946.i686/15 with no other NetworkManager packages Attempts to ping the router give:- [root@OfficeDT Desktop]# ping 192.168.1.1 connect: Network is unreachable This pings successfully from a lap top. I was thinking of getting the appropriate NetworkManager rpm file and simply install it. I had a look around online but not quite getting it. Maybe I'm being too simplistic! Any help?
