I am new to Fedora Core 2 linux and wanted to give all my linux pc's running on my LAN static private IP's between the range of 192.168.1.100-105
I am using KDE desktop if this makes any difference - I have perfect internet connection behind my Linksys router but where can I make this change in Linux?
In Windows I would just go to the properties of that particular NIC card and set auto to manual settings and have IP / submask / DG.
I typed that in as root and this is the same thing if in KDE, I go to [b]system settings > network > type root password > the same window - I still dont see how or where in this window I do this???
One caveat, I also have a linksys router. The dhcp address start at 192.168.1.100 and grow upwards. So either change the starting dhcp address in the linksys configuration, or chose lower static addresses.
