How to assign fixed IP

Jose Rivas · 01-21-2010, 12:17 PM

Fedora 6, Realtek 8139.
Gnome graphic let me assign with

system-config-network

I was assing private 192.100.1.10 and click ok.
After I run ifconfig and take 169.254.195.57 (look like auto assign)

Is there another method to assign IP?

If possible, you really need to look at getting a more current version of fedora. You are many major versions behind.

One option is to do this:

Code:

# mv /etc/sysconfig/networking /etc/sysconfig/networking.OLD

Next, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 so that it contains the following:

Code:

BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.100.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes

Update the correct eth file and/or modify the netmask above, as appropriate for your installation.

Finally:

Code:

# service network restart

Yea, I know this Fedora 6 is old, but Fedora12 stop when starting to install (new Intel Motherboard)
The old works fine.
This machines will not go to internet.

Thanks.

Ok. the ifcfg-eth0 saves the config, but when restart the machine, the IP is lost and the eth1 keep searching a dinamic IP. After a moment, return to 169.254.195.57

Then you're apparently plugged in to eth1. Remove the config from ifcfg-eth0, and add it to ifcfg-eth1 (as I alluded to earlier).
