No Network Connection

1. Configure DNS

   nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
   #Make sure the following lines are present
   [main]
   dns=none
   #Then manually add a DNS server
   nano /etc/resolv.conf
   nameserver 10.0.0.1
   
   #Restart
   systemctl restart NetworkManager
   

2. Configure a Static IP

   vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens34
   
   
   #Manually set BOOTPROTO=static to use a static IP and ONBOOT=yes to enable the network interface at boot. Append: IPADDR=192.168. *.* for the system IP address, NETMASK=255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, GATEWAY=192.168. *.* for the gateway, and DNS1=192.168. *.* for the DNS server. Enter ZZ to save and exit:
   
   #Restart the network service
   systemctl restart NetworkManager
