Dear Linux expert

my ipv4 appear in the gui system-config-network as 10.10.0.10
and in the configuration file etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 appear as 10.10.0.10 and in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 also appear as 10.10.0.10

but when I executed ifconfig command the ip appear as 169.254.25.41

what is the solution
what is the problem???

After you set the IP you can run "ifdown eth0" then "ifup eth0" to restart it with the new settings. (Or if you're on the console you can run "service network restart" to restart all networking.

Also verify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 does NOT have "dhcp" on the BOOTPROTO line. (You can delete the line or set it to "none".) DHCP would override your static settings.
