Setting a static ip in fedora

Fedora 10 seems to have major troubles setting a static ip when editing from the gui. The netmask is changed by NetworkManager to the gateway address. Hence, these instructions should get it up and running

Also, this yum command seemed to work very nicely:

  • yum install make automake autoconf gcc kernel-devel dkms

Guide to getting a static ip set in fedora 10
  • chkconfig --list | grep network -- is it on?
  • chkconfig NetworkManager off -- make sure this is off
  • chkconfig network on -- turn it on if not already
  • vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 -- make sure all settings are correct, specifically your gateway,ip,netmask and ONBOOT=yes
  • service network restart.
