Stock NetworkManager is on which will first try DHCP and then try Zeroconfig (see links) to try to obtain an address on the net. What you want uses a service called Network. So: System > Administration > Services Un-select NetworkManager (on the first page) Select Network (about 2/3 down the whole list) Save and close. Then: System > Administration > Network Select your interface (probaly eth0) Press the "Edit" button. Set up your network and hit OK. Choose the "DNS" tab and set add your name service IPs Do a "File Save" (Ctrl+s) and then a "File Quit" (Cntrl+q) Reboot -- Enjoy!
