Installed Fedora 9 i386. Used default settings throughout installation, except for the network interfaces use: eth0 - Static - <a href="http://192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1eth1" target="_blank">192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1 eth1</a> - Static - <a href="http://192.168.1.25/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1" target="_blank">192.168.1.25/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1</a> Followed instructions exactly as posted here: <a href="http://www.ltsp.org/%7Esbalneav/LTSPManual.html#AEN537" target="_blank">http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#AEN537</a> and then here for 'A Permanent Network Setup': <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/NetworkSetup" target="_blank">https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/NetworkSetup</a> Note that during this entire install process networking is fine, internet updates are being successfully made. Rebooted. When the machine boots up, there is no networking. Log into the GUI console, notice that Network Manager icon in the upper right is inactive. From what I've read that's a good thing (?). I navigate to System -> Administration -> Network, and notice that all three network devices are 'Inactive'. eth0 - Inactive eth1 - Inactive ltspbr0 - Inactive If I click on eth0, then choose Activate, nothing happens. If I choose eth1 and Activate, it works. If I choose ltspbr0, it activates. After doing the above, networking now works in the sense that the machine can see the internet. Plugged in a thin client (Diskless Workstations T1420 PXE) into what I'm thinking is the 192.168.0.x network switch configured for the TC's, and it's not getting DHCP. Looking at /var/log/messages, I see: Nov 17 11:15:59 ltsp avahi-daemon[2175]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface ltspbr0.IPv4 with address <a href="http://172.31.100.254" target="_blank">172.31.100.254</a>. Nov 17 11:15:59 ltsp avahi-daemon[2175]: New relevant interface ltspbr0.IPv4 for mDNS. Nov 17 11:15:59 ltsp avahi-daemon[2175]: Registering new address record for <a href="http://172.31.100.254" target="_blank">172.31.100.254</a> on ltspbr0.IPv4. So I've obviously missed something. 1. The interfaces aren't starting at system startup. 2. Can't activate eth0 at all. 3. TC not getting DHCP to boot up. Where did I go wrong?
