You didn't say which desktop you're using, but use the appropriate NetworkManager applet to make your changes (e.g. change from DHCP to fixed IP). This can usually be found in the your desktop's start menu, somewhere under the "Settings" area (on Xfce, "Applications menu->Settings->Network Connections" for instance). If you wish to revert to using the netscript mechanism, then you need to (as the root user): systemctl stop NetworkManager.service systemctl start network.service If you want netscripts to be the default in the future (e.g. survive reboots), then: systemctl mask NetworkManager.service systemctl unmask network.service systemctl enable network.service The first line disables NetworkManager permanently, the last two lines enable netscripts in its place. To revert back to NetworkManager being the default: systemctl mask network.service systemctl unmask NetworkManager.service systemctl enable NetworkManager.service (NOTE: The "enable" may not be necessary..."unmask" may be enough. This is one of those areas where the documentation on systemd/systemctl sucks.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The Navy's a bunch of wimps!
