Description of problem: I am connecting to a Macbook running Mac OS 10.5 which has a shared Internet connection. For some reason, Mac OS 10.5 does not seem to start a DHCP server when sharing the Internet connection, so I used static IP settings. However, the routing got set up incorrectly - the route for the local network was missing, and the default route was also missing (probably as a consequence, because if you try to add the latter route manually at the command line, without first adding the former, you get an error message). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.5.5-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type in settings as in attached config file 2. Activate interface 3. route -n Actual results: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 Expected results: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 0.0.0.0 10.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 Additional info: The Macbook has two IP addresses assigned to its wireless interface. I don't know why, and I don't have a clue how Fedora assigns one route based on the Macbook's *other* IP address! This was the only workaround that worked for me: Save the following as /sbin/ifup-local: #! /bin/bash -eup if [ "$1" = "wlan0" ]; then route add -net 10.0.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev wlan0 route add default gw 10.0.2.1 fi and make it executable.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
