Problem with Network Config
 

So far this board has helped me a lot... right now I am stuck...

When I try to edit eth0 the config program crashes. Now I've sent a bug report to red hat but I was wondering if anyone had any quick ideas.. i get this dump file:


-------------------------------------------
Traceback (innermost last):

Is there a way to just reinstall the network config?

Could this also be the problem as to why I can not get Swat or Samba to work right? That'll come after i get this problem fixed though!

:newbie:

seems to be a problem with the python wrappers for gtk. make sure you have the latest versions of this program as well as the newest pygtk package. alternatively just use a different program like netconfig. or manually edit the files yourself such as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

I am 100% new to this stuff so just a quick question:

would any of this make it so samba not work right:

DEVICE='eth0'
BOOTPROTO='none'
ONBOOT='yes'
TYPE='Ethernet'
USERCTL='no'
NETWORK='10.0.0.0'
BROADCAST='10.0.0.255'
IPADDR='10.0.0.11'
GATEWAY='10.0.0.1'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
