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 :

Code: 
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

Code: 
service network restart

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

Code: 
$ 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.

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.
