Things that spring to mind are: Is his gateway using the same numerical IP as when you got it working on your network? You're using manual configuration, instead of DHCP. Does his LAN have a DHCP server that would have automatically managed this all for him? Was his gateway up and running before the computer booted up? (I'm unsure if an unavailable gateway would have been removed from pre- configured settings, though.) _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
