FC8 how to get static IP working

[Chu Tan]

I've used fedora's network configuration tool to setup eth0 to use a
static IP address, however it always boot up using DHCP.

Here's my config files and I have tried ifdown and ifup on eth0 on
command line and it is still using the dhcp ip address.

/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.2.3
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
