I guess I have been very lucky but all I ever needed to do was just connect an ehternet cable and let the DHCP do its magic.
Most installations of Fedora will setup the network card to get an automatic address without any other intervention. If yours didn't you can simply configure it with the network gui.
For full instructions here is a great article to get everything setup and working for a desktop. (If you need a server see that same location for the server tutorial.)

Well Wifi, Ethernet, or Modem.
Normally your Ethernet would be automatically configured. Lots of WiFi Cards aren't Open Source friendly so that could be a problem.
ultimately if you open a console and type sudo ifconfig. The output should have at least an eth0 and an lo
eth0 being the first Ethernet card lo being the loopback.
If you see ra0 or ath0 or wi0 that would be your wireless.
I believe that Fedora comes with a networking wizard. Check the administration panel for it.
Good Luck
