<br>Yes, TUI.<br><br>Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The SATA disk is connected to the onboard controller.

</div>I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine. Once<br>
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI<br>
anymore.<br>
<br>
If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll<br>
try to figure out what is going on.<br></blockquote><div><br>What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was booting with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web administrator, my Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only the hostname... On the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but can't change it also on the engine. Is this correct? <br>
