OP said they “don’t know any thing about networking.” Several replies pointed to general search/apps (, , ) while asked useful clarifying questions. A short, practical path works best: learn core concepts first, then practice on Fedora (command line + NetworkManager), and finally study packets and protocols to deepen understanding.

Start-with / read: "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach" for a clear, layered introduction to how the Internet is structured and why services behave the way they do. (pearson.com) Use a broad, practical reference like "Networking All-in-One For Dummies" (Doug Lowe) for step-by-step setup, basic security and small-network tasks across OSes. (dummies.com) For Linux-specific tasks and ready-made recipes (firewall, NAT, DHCP, VPN), keep a copy of the Linux Networking Cookbook on hand. (oreilly.com) When ready to study packets, timers and protocol behavior in depth, consult "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1." (informit.com)

Hands-on practice matters more than passive reading. On Fedora the default network stack is managed by NetworkManager, so learn the GUI plus the CLI tools (nmcli, nmtui) and the ip command to read and set addresses/routes. (jfearn.fedorapeople.org) Build simple labs with VirtualBox (several small VMs), use GNS3 to emulate router topologies, then capture traffic with tcpdump and analyze with Wireshark. Workflows to try: set a static IP, bring the interface up, ping another VM, capture the ICMP exchange, then read the same exchange in a book chapter that explains the headers.

A recommended short sequence: (1) a chapter on layering from Kurose/Ross; (2) one Linux cookbook recipe (DHCP or NAT) on a Fedora VM; (3) capture and read the packets with TCP/IP Illustrated; (4) use Doug Lowe as a desk reference for routine tasks. Libraries, official docs and small labs will get basic skills in weeks rather than months.

This is not a particularly helpful post. Do you need basic networking books, management Linux networks, connecting your Linux systems to a LAN or WAN... I mention Linux because you say you are using Fedora. What version? What can't you do now using the built-in network manager? Are you having problems with your wired network, wireless, what?

First of all, you have to need a software or book of, which having basic information about networking, I researched about the metter and I was able to find many more information about network by google and by mobile applications.
