Hi, I am almost a complete newbie to Linux and I apologise for asking about something very dumb right away. I want to use Fedora to run a couple of network sockets on two networks with Samba shares and a simple FTP server - that's all. I'm having problems trying to set a static IP address on eth0. I can get it to work but it has to be "activated" by hand each time I start the machine. There is an option "Activate device when computer starts" but although ticked, it appears to do nothing. What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Bob. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
