to configure network settings permanently you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
In modern Linux desktops, there are issues with editing config files directly as the GUI utilities like 'Network Manager' do not use these settings and require the config files to be blank. In some cases what happens is that after editing the config file, the internet works in command line but not desktop. It is best to use the gui in such cases. For instructions, Sarfaraz could look up google.
Hi Rony,
I have no issues using the Network Manager gui but for some reason on my Fedora 15 install the "Options" button always stays in disabled state.
I'll be trying Sachin's instructions over the weekend & report back how it goes.
Thanks & Regards, Sarfaraz Kazi
