Hi all
I have been having the same problems as above.
Every time I restart NM the settings in /etc/resolv.conf get reset
I edited the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-et0 and added the lines
DNS1=ip address
DOMAIN=domain
and restarted NM and it *seems* to be working now!
I'll have to see if a restart of the computer does anything!
Just thought I'd share my experiences

Not true, at least on my system, ifcfg-eth0 does not get overwritten unless you edit and save the network configuration.
On my Fedora 10 systen, neither ifcfg-eth0 nor ifcfg-eth1 is hard linked (and there is no symbolic link pointing to them either.

Similar Problem
I'm new to Fedora (I'm familiar with Ubuntu and Solaris) and am having the same problem. I installed it without the GUI so I'm all CLI.
I ran a 'yum update' after the install.
This is my ifcfg-eth0
# Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:50:56:b0:26:1e
ONBOOT=yes
SEARCH="localdomain"
BOOTPROTO=static
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
IPADDR=10.1.0.203
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
GATEWAY=10.1.0.1
TYPE=Ethernet
When I reboot, the interface isn't configured, but if I run an 'ifup eth0' it sets it up nicely. What am I missing?

If I remember correctly, by default FC10 enables the 'NetworkManager' service and disables the 'network' service to give more of a desktop feel. Since you are all cli, I bet you are in runlevel 3 rather than runlevel 5 and NetworkManager is not starting eth0.
To test, run:
service network start
Then if that works, here's what I would try to permanently configure for reboot... assuming that you are going to stay in CLI mode.
chkconfig --level 2345 NetworkManager off
chkconfig --level 2345 network on
The config setting in your ifcfg-eth0, ONBOOT=yes tells the network service to start the interface when the service starts... so that should work.

Thanks, this did it.

For the record, I pretty much hate NetworkManager. It tends to dumb us down by abstracting the network services (x2). Though I understand it's place on the desktop and it's critical nature for GUI folks, I hate that it creates two places for network config and overrides 'su' settings.
Last night I spent about two hours trying to disable NetworkManager so that I could enable WLAN with WPA-PSK using wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper at runlevel 3. It's the only way to get "always on" wireless without a GUI. And it was not fun...
Glad to hear you got it going.

Here is another method of configuring your Fedora 10 network with a static IP:
open a terminal and run su setup
make and save the changes then run service network restart

I compared your setting to mine, and other than DNS and IP address, I have BOOTPROTO=no
Static IP comes up fine at boot.
