I installed Red Hat 8.0 into PC and assigned an IP address in both ways: ifconfig and System tool - Network device control.
However, each time reboot machine, the IP address is gone. How do I configure the IP address so that it stick to the ethernet card each rebooting

Thank you for your suggestion.

TC./

I am unsure about redhat, but try checking
in any /etc/sysconfig/network* files.

If need be, just change the setting manually in the config file. I do not know the exact file location.

Maybe here as 3Dave suggested:
/etc/sysconfig/network-settings/

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
(assuming eth0 is your NIC)

In Redhat 8, I'd recommend running "setup" from a command prompt, and then highlighting "Network configuration" and "Run Tool".

You could also use "redhat-config-network" from a command prompt if you'd prefer a gui version.

Good luck.

Thank you all.

I tried System tool - Network device control. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 was updated but Ip address still gone when rebooting.

I will try "redhat-config-network" afterward
