Because in F9 the network is managed by Network Manager (and Network Manager Dispatcher) which is a different set of scripts. Presumably the OP's NM config wasn't set up to manage the eth0 interface. If you click on the System->Administration->Services menu in Gnome, you'll see NM at the top and network farther down. It's OK to use one or the other, just don't mix them. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
