Hello, I want my CentOS 6.5 computer to have a static IP. Currently I get the IP I want because I have my router assign it on the basis of mac address. I placed the following file as: /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/eth0 DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:1F:D0:9E:AE:67 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=192.168.0.99 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 NM_CONTROLLED=no I also disabled Network Manager with chkconfig. It didn't work. When I rebooted I had no IP address for eth0. Should I leave all the other scripts in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts unchanged? Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Joe
