Setting static IP

callumacrae · 11-12-2009, 11:23 AM

Hello,

I'm running a clean install of Fedora 7 in virtualbox, and I can't work out how to set a static IP address. I edit the settings, reset the network and then that virtual machine has no access to the internet. This is what I changed the settings to:

Address: 192.168.2.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1

I haven't got much experience in networking, so please explain in English

See the section entitled "Setting Up A Static IP Address Using The Command Line"
