The wired network interface has an IP of 192.168.0.1. I changed the settings to match what you recommended. No joy using Network Manager. One problem is that the IPV4 settings don't make any sense. If I set the Wifi port to "share this with other computers", it doesn't get an IP address assigned to it. Hmm... There is an IPV4 setting of "Local Link" I wonder what that means. NetworkManager doesn't appear to have a help system ? So, I reverted to using system-config-network and firestarter. I disabled NetworkManager controlling the devices. Firestarter kept saying that eth0 wasn't ready and crashing. I know I've run into this problem before with statically configured ports and firestarter, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. This is way harder than it needs to be ! I'm hoping the Network Manager in F12 will be a little more refined. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
