You need to enable the "network" service in the runlevels 3 & 5, this can be done with the following command in a root session: # chkconfig network on after this you can check that the service will start on a reboot with: # chkconfig --list network at least, the runlevels 3 & 5 will be as "on" best regards Teo Fonrouge -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
