Network settings in Fedora core 4

[Techmastro]

Hi guys
I installed Fedora core 4 today but unable to set up my IP address.
Could anyone please explain me hoe to set up IP address & other such entries in linux(Fedora core 4) so that i can run internet in it.
I have a static IP assigned to me.

Moreover i want to mount my NTFS drives in Fedora core.

open a terminal and type :

neat

The Netwrok properties box will apear and follow the onscreen instruction on each tab.

once done, save the settings and again type following command on terminal

service network restart

for configuring network, select the "network" under System settings or the following command in consiole

$ system-config-network-gui

for mounting ntfs drives, u need to compile the ntfs support into kernel.

Alternatively you can install kernel-module-ntfs rpm. u need one matching your kernel. download the module matching your kernel from *rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/x86_64/RPMS.lvn/ and install it.

#netconfig

No netconfig

#netconfig

There is no netconfig in FC4

Its pretty simple in FC4. Check out the Linux-NTFS web site.
You just need to install a RPM. No need to compile a kernel or anything of that sort. The RPM you install is a binary to your kernel so make sure you download the correct one for your version of the kernel.
