Network Icon
Howdy, I wanted to change my network card from DHCP to a static IP on my Fedora 9 box. So I did. The network icon (in Gnome) then shows up with an [x] saying the connection is broken. I then changed the DHCP server so that the systme would return a static IP address when queried, yet the network icon still shows up with an [x], despite the fact that the network still works. This is pretty irritating because both Evolution and Firefox start in offline mode, and I have to go and manually change them. So, how do I get the Gnome network icon to actually show the real network connection? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, -- Oliver Sampson Support Indie Music!

Set your client to be configured by your DHCP server, and configure the DHCP server to always give the client the same IP. Doing a is easier if you turn off NetworkManager and use just the network service daemon, and you input the network details you want to use into the network configuration. Whereas b just requires setting up the server as you require, the client was already set to work that way. (Find out the MAC for your client's ethernet port, use that in your DHCP server to tie a fixed IP to a particular network interface.) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
