Fresh install fedora 19 - lXDE eth0 not able to change parameters in network config

[Timothy Ward]

Hi All,

After a fresh install of fedora 19 LXDE on a 32 bit 386 server eth0
parameters cannot be set with the network app, firewalld was reset along
with the network manager, eventually it accepted new parameters for ip
etc but failed to activate the eth0 port. Tried a second card
checkedb Bios settings, ifconfig etc to no avail- anybody got any
suggestions, as I cannot upgrade at the moment due no network
connection. All indincations from the network apps tell you its failed
but nothing else. Still Trouble-shooting at the moment.
