Although I did not explicitly state that I was using a fixed IP address, I did say that the netmask of 255.255.255.0 was being over written with the gateway address when I used the network gui - this is some bug in the network gui of the install version. So it's obvious I'm not using DHCP. Not sure why there is a serious bug in the network gui. I got around this by directly writing the correct netmask in the ifcfg-eth0 config file (as I mentioned previously). I also directly included DNS1, DNS2, and DNS3 in this file (they were not written by the network gui). As it turned out, I checked services to see if the network daemon was enabled. For some reason, it was NOT enabled by doing the F10 install (the install process never asked for network info which at the time I thought was strange). I enabled the network daemon and now DNS works fine. I'm now in the process of updating the Fedora 10 install to the latest patches. There are about 465 packages to be updated including a new kernel. Hopefully this will fix the bug in the install version of the network gui.
