Hi Bruce, > You don't say what you network configuration is. Are you connected > directly to the internet or through a router?
Sorry, I have a direct connection through a cable modem. > If direct, you should have: > > ONBOOT=yes > SERVICE=ipv4-static > IP=114.77.8.202 > GATEWAY=114.77.0.1 > PREFIX=20 > BROADCAST=114.176.255.255 Thanks, I modified the ipv4 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0, and now everything is great! :-) However, there is the problem that presumably I will need to manually change the IP address in that file every time my ISP decides to assign me a different number. Is there anything I can do to make sure that the file stays up to date, automagically? Or will that happen now that I have the gateway, prefix, and broadcast all correct? (Sorry for the newbish questions, networking is an area I tend to find a bit befuddling.) Thanks for your help!
