So decide for one, and then stop, and then disable the other on your run level so it will not be started on reboot again. # chkconfig --help Next, how do you think your IP address is assigned, statically or dynamically ? In the latter case it would be obtained from a DHCP server, presumably located on your router, and that would require a dhcp client on your machine. Regardless of the above, if you know the IP address your machine should have, you can assigne it to your interface manually. The net config files to check are (I am on F16, so some files may differ): $ ls /etc/sysconfig/net* /etc/sysconfig/netconsole /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/networking: devices profiles /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: ifcfg-lo ifdown-post ifup-bnep ifup-plusb init.ipv6-global ifdown ifdown-ppp ifup-eth ifup-post net.hotplug ifdown-bnep ifdown-routes ifup-ippp ifup-ppp network-functions ifdown-eth ifdown-sit ifup-ipv6 ifup-routes network-functions-ipv6 ifdown-ippp ifdown-tunnel ifup-ipx ifup-sit ifdown-ipv6 ifup ifup-isdn ifup-tunnel ifdown-isdn ifup-aliases ifup-plip ifup-wireless $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*-eth0 ... Hope this will jump start you. There is plenty of official RH/Fedora docs and info on the Internet.
