The network service is still available on F16, though it uses systemd's SysV comptaibility mode. Either "systemctl enable network.service" or "chkconfig network on" will enable it. "BOOTPROTO=dhcp" configures your connection to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, while "BOOTPROTO=static" allows you to assign a static IP address. The reason it's called "BOOTPROTO" is historical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootp > As it happens, my problem turned out to be that dnsmasq was not > running.

Actually, system-config-services got ported to systemd, and works rather nicely with it. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
