Try connecting to em1.  That's what my interface is named (it's on the
motherboard).  You probably don't have an eth0 anymore.  The new
enumeration scheme tries to name interfaces in a way that will tell
you where the interface is located.  At least, I think that's the
idea.

Also, why Fedora 17?  It hit End Of Life a while ago, and is now
unsupported.

Hope this helps.
