I installed a new motherboard into my desktop computer 2 days ago. As a consequence, I now have a different network device. The old network device was shown as eth0 and it obviously is no longer installed in my computer and it always had a particular IP address on my local netowrk. The new network device ought to be the new eth0, since the old one was physically removed, but it is not: it is shown as eth1 and it no longer has the same IP address that this computer used to have on my local network, but a new one. This causes a number of problems: Firstly, NetworkManager no longer starts the network when I log in; I have to manually click the 'system eth0' icon for it to do so (note that the knetworkmanager applet shows the system wired internet as eth0, even though the device is actually eth1, but I really would like it to be eth0). Secondly, as my IP address on the local network is now changed, any scripts that refer to this computer by IP address (sftp, fuse-ssh, etc) must be changed, and also my router required me giving access to another computer on my local network with this new IP address, even though the old one that I wish to continue using is vacant. How can I get this back to how it was: my only network interface should be eth0, NetworkManager should start the wired internet automatically at boot instead of me having to click to start, and I want eth0 to have the former IP address which is currently vacant? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
