I am brand new to linux and am unable to connect to the internet in Fedora 19. When I type ifconfig
I get:
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>

Also when I type netstat
I get:
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers)
I have tried to find what I can do to connect to the internet and I have been unsuccessful. I am using a wired connection through a router. I can ping 127.0.0.1 but cannot ping out.
Edit 1
When I open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ifcfg-profile_1-1
I get this
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
NAME="Profile 1"
UUID=d5d3e20c-6ef1-4e11-bf40-0cf5a7c6b463
ONBOOT=yes
Since PEERRDNS=yes
what server information am I putting in the /etc/resolve.conf
since mine is blank? Also in my network-scripts file I have ifcfg-lo and ifcfg-profile_1 and ifcfg-profile_1-1
Edit 2
When I type sudo dhclient p9p1 -v
I get
dhclient (2039) is already running -and exiting.
this version of USC dhcp is based on the release available on FTP.isc.org. features have been added and other changes have been made to the base software release in order to make it work better with this distribution.
sudo ethtool p9p1
