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.
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.
