G'day all, I'm stuck again, but with my efforts fragmented over the past couple of weeks I'm sure I've missed something simple. Here's the situation. After upgrading a laptop from F7-8 the wired network connected without hassle. I wanted to wipe the slate clean, however and installed F8 from scratch. /etc/hosts has the other computers in the lan with 192.168.0 IP's as it had with the upgrade. eth0 is up but wants to use 169.254. IP's which I thought zeroconf setup but zeroconf is not running. Network manager is running (networking and wireless enabled) and reports connected to the wired network, network service is not running. I cannot ping any of the 192.168.0 IP's (network unreachable) from the laptop, nor can I ping the 169.254 address it has taken for itself. Under >Places>Network there is an icon for SFTP File Transfer ( which I did not put there, nor can I delete it) which would connect to that box, until today. How do I use the 192.168.0 range of addresses and get connected to the lan?
