They bind your ethernet MAC id. So if you are already using their connection on windows box you need to set your windows mac in linux.
Please guide me on this part (setting the windows MAC).
So you are using SSV connection from another system running windows?
I'm dual booting WinXP & Fedora 15.
to find mac in xp http://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-MAC-Address-of-Your-Computer
Which Windows OS you are using? For the particular version of windows search for finding MAC/physical address of ethernet card. Note that address. Suppose this address is 11:22:33:44:55:66
enter following command in fedora:
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 11:22:33:44:55:66
then again try to connect.
Got it, thanks!
One more query, when you talk about setting up the network details in Fedora, do you mean that I have to edit the /etc/networks file. The options button in "Network Settings" is always disabled hence I'm not able to change the network settings through GUI. Please guide.
I had used fedora long back. I don't know about ui. to configure network i.e. ip address, default gateway and dns settings enter following commands.
ifconfig eth0 ip_address/cidr (to configure ip address) route add default gw default_gw (to set default gateway)
vim /etc/resolv.conf -> put following lines nameserver dns_ip nameserver dns_second_ip
you need to run these commands using sudo.

to configure network settings permanently you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
