static IP under F10

[Rafnews]

Hi,

i have setup a static IP for my F10 computer (which will be use later as DB
server for test development).
therefore i modify the following 3 files:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

i setup my mask to 255.255.255.0 as usual and after i reboot F10.
after login as user, F10 as setup eth0 inactive. when i press the button
activate, eth0 is activated but the mask turns to my default gateway
address... and internet does not work.

where is the problem ?
i'm sure that this IP address is free and works if i use it on windows OS.
thx a lot.

You really don't need to enable network and disable NetworkManager

Has this bug been reported anywhere?

OK do this. Use 'system-config-network' to setup ip
addresses. Do
select "Activate device when computer starts" option. Also unselect
"Controlled by NetworkManager" option.
Now when you close the "system-configure-network", it will copy the
gateway address to netmask due to a bug.
Now edit the interface file
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' and just fix the changed
netmask.
Once that is done, disable 'NetworkManager' service and enable
'network' by running 'setup' on shell. Reboot and see everything is in
place.

Thanks,

Hi Braden,

in fact the system-config-network is for now the only way (for me) to
activate my settings... as new to F10, i do not now how to activate the eth0
from console :-(

Did you use system-config-network to check your settings? If so, it 
could have hosed them for you in exactly this manner.  See:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469434

Manually edit the files to set the proper netmask; and don't let 
system-config-network touch them. :-/

You only need to change /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 .
Check into /etc/resolv.conf for the correct DNS. This is where your DNS 
is setup to get you on the Internet.
Are you using a gateway router or direct to the DSL box ? 
Here is a working /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to compare by;
After all changes are made , restart your computer, all damons will also 
be restarted


DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.254       # your static IP here
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1        # which is a router
HWADDR=00:16:EC:69:37:55   # put your own MAC adress here
DNS1=
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
