I've used fedora's network configuration tool to setup eth0 to use a static IP address, however it always boot up using DHCP. Here's my config files and I have tried ifdown and ifup on eth0 on command line and it is still using the dhcp ip address. /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=192.168.2.3 ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes
