Fixed IP address in 2.0 rc 1

Post#1 by Lightyear » 07 Jan 2013, 13:55

Hello friends, thank you for the outstanding work.
Perhaps it's a mistake of mine, but when I try to give a fixed address to eth0, Porteus doesn't allow me to write anything on the address, netmask, or gateway windows of the network configuration utility.
Command line works as expected.

I will assume you are getting to the 'network settings' via the menu. Preferences/Network connections

You have to change the setting from DHCP to manual before you can enter anything in the address area. Is this what you mean?
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

Brokenman, obrigado pela sua risposta.
In case I'm mistaken, Brokenman, thank you for your answer. :)
I'm sorry, but I wasn't in Porteus when I posted and had to trust my memory.
The trail I followed was
System tools
Porteus settings centre
System settings
Network setup
Wired network setup wizard
Here I chose eth0 and went to a dialog Choose how to get your IP address.
There you have the choice between Automatically via DHCP and Enter manual settings.
I chose the second, but there is no difference. No matter what I choose, I can't write anything in the fields below.

After I posted, I checked Preferences --> Network connections, but in the Wired option there was no network card.
Ifconfig works flawlessly though.
