setting a static IP

EMHagerty · 09-09-2004, 02:23 PM

I am new to Linux. Installed Fedora Core 2 last night and during wizard used DHCP. Now I want to set a static IP to be used on my DMZ port of my firewall. How do I modify from DHCP to static? Where is the gui interface or does it have to be done via vi ?

if u go to ur network device control of ur system which u will prob have to do as root to change configuration.... then u should be able then to change from dhcp to static and assign the addys that u want to use and just read that u found it :-)
