Hi!

I recently installed fedora 12 in my server where I had a page published in my local net by tomcat, and I was looking on the Internet how to set up an static ip address and this is what I did

on /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
#
# File: ifcfg-eth0
#
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=10.17.148.26
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
#
# The following settings are optional
#
BROADCAST=10.17.148.255
NETWORK=10.17.148.0

and there is another one on

/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices they have the same content

I put this on the command line

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

then I can access via ssh by two addresses the one I got from dhcp (10.17.148.223) and the static one (10.17.148.26)

I put ifconfig and and 10.17.148.223 appear on eth0

I restart my server and I just can access from 10.17.148.223

I have to put
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

Again...to access by my static ip, y can access my page by its dns on my server, but I cant access from other computer...so, I guess when my static adress appears on ifconfig I would be able to access my page from other computer...

how can I do this? thanks

After "ifup eth0", please type: ifconfig eth0, and check your self, which IP interface has.

=(

I tried also #ifconfig eth0 10.17.148.26 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.17.148.255 gateway 10.17.148.1, but I cant seem to have access to intenet

You want to say that after ifconfig eth0 10.17.148.26, your IP won't change?

My ip chages...sorry...I wasnt on the server I was remotely connected trough ssh and with ifconfig it changes....it just that I dont have access to internet....indeed now I have two options on the icon of link just aside of the clock on the desktop....how do I get access to the intenet? thanks

look...
$ ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:12:3F:77:11:12

I change my option on the network icon and this is the result but no Internet access
ifconfig -a

To answer this question, I at least, have to know network configuration, GW - ?

I fixed it...I made it by the GUI and it was because it didnt had de DNS server set....thanks!
