Actually, the original issue was system-config-network not keeping static IP information (IP, SM, NS, GW) or at least not throwing a warning.

Actually, it is commercial cable and doable by other systems, so i am not giving up. i am going to start with studying "ip rules" as opposed to "ip routes". When the same IP configuration is on a laptop connected to both wireless and Cat5 wired behind two different firewalls, they do not have this problem. Granted, these usually use dynamic connections and are not providing critical services, but it works. Why not for static configurations and why doesn't system-config-network at least throw an warning. > > > Unless it is a pure don't care if down sometimes hobby, having primary and > secondary dns on last mile residential links, regardless of budget or your > reliability perceptions, is not particularly wise. > > - rh > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
