I have Installed Fedora 10 and I have assigned manual IP address to eth0 and trying to activate the eth0 but all buttons are disabled. can someone tell me what's wrong with it.

Make sure that the "network" service is enabled.

Code:

/sbin/chkconfig --list network

You should see the following output:

Code:

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

If you don't, that output, then you need to enable the service:

Code:

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 network on

If the service is already configured, then you might wanna try either configuring the interface manually (i.e. editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) or using a different GUI to set it up (i.e. if you're using network manager, try system-config-network and vise-versa).

I have done all that but still unable to solve the problem the output you have shown above is same like mine. I have also checked the services and their run-levels but all is ok. nothing is extraordinary in the *.conf files. The eth0 take the Dynamic IP and works properly with the DSL router. What is the problem now???
