I always just edit /etc/network/interfaces rather than using any built in utilities. It's especially helpful if you use different distributions across multiple platforms as it's all uniform.
No need to learn/use each distro's own utility, plus you can do exactly what you want instead of being limited by what the utility will let you do or will do without you knowing.
Like most things in Linux there is usually more than one way to do things and it comes down to personal preference.

What's the command to set the IP address
I have googled it and find 30 different ways
With red hat it was netconfig
At the least you have success. It takes about 10 minutes or less, when you first bootbefore your node reports to all the other on-line nodes. Some of my nodesuse a static IP and others DHCP with reserved address. Let us all know how thingswork out for you.Good luck RichardJK

I now have what I think is a working system ,
For some reason it fails if I put in a static IP , but if I run with DHCP it finds the mic and runs
If I tell it to pull down the info from the server for he node it dies
I need it on a static IP for port fowarding , just like my other VoIP systems
And I did do the info on the web portal to the best I can, I entered in all the info it requested
I even got to install your device now , this will be here Tuesday because of our long weekend
Thanks for all the help

Hello Richard and welcome to the Linux world;
You "must" do a CD BURN to the ISO for it to work properly, low speed is best for older CD ROM.73 Anton/ KC2RQR
