I'm having problems trying to set a static IP address on eth0. I can get it to work but it has to be "activated" by hand each time I start the machine. There is an option "Activate device when computer starts" but although ticked, it appears to do nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
I had the same problem the other day and a helpful poster informed me that I had to run:
chkconfig network on
from a terminal (as root I believe). This causes the network service to be started on each boot. Why it is disabled by default I don't know. I was using Fedora 9 so I'm guessing you are too.
Anyway, that did the trick for me.
