Using Network Configuration GUI in Fedora
An example of a graphical tool for configuring your Ethernet interface is the Network Configuration
GUI that comes with Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. If you did not configure your
LAN connection during installation of Fedora or RHEL, you can do so at any time using the Network
Configuration window. The IP address and hostnames can be assigned statically to an Ethernet
interface or retrieved dynamically at boot time from a DHCP server.
