| Why not just install Fedora via the command line? The installation should be quite straightforward: 1. Partition your remote computer's drive(s) 2. Install Fedora there - for example using systemd-nspawn 3. Generate the GRUB menu |

Having never done this before, my guess is that with two NICs, you
need to assign an IP to the NIC that's connecting to the VNC client.
As it stands now, both NICs are going to try to get DHCP IPs. I'm going
to assume that one NIC is actually seeing a DHCP server and will get
an IP, DNS and route, the other one (the one connected to the VNC
client) doesn't get an IP. So the kernel routing table only knows about
one NIC being up and all traffic is going through it.
I suspect you'll need to add an "ip:" parameter for the NIC connected to
the VNC client to your boot line. The generic form of the option is:
ip=<ip>::<gateway>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<interface>:none
So, assuming the NIC's name is "p4p1", something like:
ip:10.1.1.2:::255.255.255.0::p4p1:none
should set that NIC's IP to 10.1.1.2 with no route, a /24 netmask and
no hostname. VNC should then know that 10.1.1.1 is connected to that NIC
and should route accordingly. The other NIC should pick up a DHCP as
normal.
Again, I've never done this, so this is just a wild guess but seems
likely.
