I am a windows user with no linux experience prior to Friday. Im setting up a SqueezeCenter music server running Fedora 10.
With the help of posts on this site and the fedora forums site, Ive made good progress with complicated stuffnamely getting Samba and VNC working. My Fedora machine and my windows machines now see each others shared files, and I can control my Fedora machine from my windows machine. (The Fedora machine will ultimately be headless.) But Im having trouble with a seemingly simple issuesetting up my Fedora box with a static IP address. With DHCP enabled on my network Ethernet adapter, all works fine. I then used the System>Administration>Network menu to disable DHCP and to assign the same IP address that DHCP chose. When I do this, two cases need to be distinguished: 1. If I keep the box checked for Controlled by Network Manager, the Network Manager Applet reports a network connection, I nevertheless cannot access the internet, but my Fedora machine is able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (connected to my network via my DSL modem Ethernet connections, and with a fixed IP address). 2. If I uncheck the box Controlled by Network Manger, then the Network Manager Applet reports no network connection and my Fedora machine is not able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player. This problem sounds very much like the one noted by gharris999 (post 50 at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51672&page=5), which concerned a bug whereby Fedora did not properly record the subnet mask in the file /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0. However, Ive looked at that file and all the information appears correct. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
