Problem enabling network in Fedora 11


Hi...
I installed fedora 11 few days back. But when I tried to configure network I came across a problem that the enable button on top of network manager GUI is disabled. So alternatively I enabled it with ifconfig command. I also configured DNS servers. But the problem is whenever I reboot my machine. I have to reactivate the network from terminal and give the DNS servers again, because DNS settings are not saved. Will you tell me what is the problem with my system or am I going wrong somewhere.
Thanks.

You need to provide more information.
How is your network setup? You are using static IP addresses or DHCP?

What is the output of:
/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep etwork

Also what is the output of:
grep -R 'ONBOOT=' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

Thanks for your reply.
As you said this is some more information.
I am having static IP address.
And I have set two DNS servers as primary and secondary.
But after rebooting if I click DNS tab the previously stored entries are gone, they are not saved there. But if I double click on eth0 icon under devices it shows me primary and secondary DNS values intact.
I don't know its happening and what is the need of giving DNS twice?

The output of /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep etwork is :

NetworkManager 0 off 1 off 2 on 3 on 4 on 5 on 6 off
network 0 off 1 off 2 on 3 on 4 on 5 on 6 off


The output of grep -R 'ONBOOT=' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ is

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:ONBOOT=yes
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo:ONBOOT=yes

Thanks again...
