Fedora: static IP

Fedora use some own configuration files unlike Debian systems. For network configuration exactly the same.
Lets bring our eth0 interface up with static IP-Address.
This configuration block can be copied, please change your BROADCAST, HWADDR, IPADDR, NETWORK and of course the GATEWAY parameter.

vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
BROADCAST="192.168.3.255"
HWADDR="52:54:00:51:B9:F5"
IPADDR="192.168.3.201"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.3.0"
ONBOOT="yes"

GATEWAY="192.168.3.1"

If you reboot your system and you have still no IP try this out, you network will be started in the runlevels 2-5:
