Fedora 10 Static IP networking issues
From TruItSupport experience with Fedora 10
To get the DNS to stick you simply need to disable NetworkManager (in services) and then enable Network (in services) you should not need to “edit” any files. This will enable the system to work correctly. You just enter you data as usual in the Network Configuration GUI and this time it will remember the DNS settings and also start on boot if this is selected.
NetworkManager is designed for laptops, do not use it for desktops with static address. If it does not work just check network is enabled in services
The extract below is from is from Mauriat Miranda "Fedora 10 Personal Installation Guide"
Fedora 10 uses NetworkManager by default.
The primary settings for any network devices will be automatically selected at installation time.
Since there is no screen for selecting networking options,most devices will default to using DHCP.
Using NetworkManager has greatly improved networking for many wireless
and some less common devices (mobile broadband, GSM, etc.), it may still have problems with some configurations.
NetworkManager development and integration into Fedora is still an ongoing effort.
NOTE: The following steps do NOT apply to all users.
NetworkManager is highly recommended for Laptop users, especially using wireless with security.
Disabling NetworkManager and Enabling network Service
On machines with a fixed networking device and a fixed IP address (e.g. desktop, server, appliance),
it might be more practical to disable NetworkManager and use the older network service. Additionally users requiring virtual device types (bridging, bonding, or VLANs) will also need to use the network service.
Note that the Fedora 10 installer disables the network service by default. To switch to using the network service: ( to read more click on the Mauriat Miranda link )

Are you wasting money and resources by having equipment that is too old?
Compact fluorescent performance decreases over time.
While a filament does exist in these lamps, the real work of making light is done by the gas discharge. The light bulb does not just “burn out,” but instead slowly degrades over time putting out less and less light. Because this decay is slow it often goes unnoticed by users until the performance is well below acceptable. The same thing applies to computer monitors. Staff are often staring a monitors that are several years old. This is not only a work place safety issue as it effects the well being of the user but it lowers efficiency of the workers as they strain to comprehend quickly and accurately exactly what they are reading. Given the relative low cost of these devices there is little excuse for not having you monitors less than three years old.
"Whilst it is not exactly the same thing you do get a similar loss of efficiency with windows based computers over time. As the computer gets used more and more and as programs are added and removed there is an apparent loss of performance."
This loss of performance also effects the output of the user so it is also a wise idea to keep the life of your computers relative low if you want to get the best out of your staff. Just as running old fluorescent lamps is a false economy so is running old computer equipment.
