LAN - static IP on fedora 10

It is pretty easy task to set a static ip on LAN in fedora 10 machine. 

First go to network (System -> Administration -> Network) and double click on the device listed in it. Select "Statically set IP address" and enter required fields. In my machine I have used,

Address : 192.168.1.XX

Subnet mask:255.255.255.0

Default gateway address:192.168.1.1

At this point I was unable to connect to internet. By setting fields in DNS tab I was able to connect to internet, but reset them when machine reboots. So I enter those fields in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. It is as follows,

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

DNS1=XX.XX.XX.XX

DNS2=XX.XX.XX.XX

Finally, I was able to set a static ip and connect to internet.
