Ok, it turns out that I HAD all those settings. But it does not work. I checked the messages logs and it shows me that DHCP is clearly being used/attempted. This was the problem created by F8-Live CD - it did not properly set my network configuration. How can I disable DHCP and get my system back to "Static" IP?
