I've come from kubuntu Linux, and I see different tools are used in Fedora for network configuration. In kubuntu, I was prompted for a machine name during install. After getting the system up, I'd edit /etc/network/interfaces to set the static ip address I want to use on my subnet, do an ifdown, ifup and I was there. In Fedora, I wasn't prompted for a machine name on the subnet, and there is no /etc/network/interfaces file to edit. While I know this is just a matter of getting used to a different way of doing things, I don't see the silver bullet in the documentation (which probably means that it's conspicuous and obvious - one of Murphy's Laws, I think). Would someone be so kind as to help me get the the machine name set and switch from the dynamic IP to a static ip on my subnet? I see the kde network configurator, but (as this can really break things), I wanted to check with you experts first. As always - thanks in advance. ---Michael
