[SOLVED] static IP address fedora 14

timl · 06-08-2011, 05:01 AM

Hi, I want to set up my PC to have a static IP add. I only use this PC with a wireless connection so I go to: System->Preferences->Network Connections->Wireless and choose my wireless connection. Then under IPv4 settings enter:

Method - manual
Address - 192.168.1.109 (IP add dynamically allocated to the PC currently)
Netmask - 255.255.255.0 (I can see this from ifconfig)
Gateway - not so sure about this. Is this the address of my router? Can I glean this info from ifconfig?

Can anyone fill in the blanks pls?

"route -n" will show you your gateway / router IP address. You'll also need to add DNS servers, which would probably be your router IP again.
