thanks for you help. On fedora 19 , there is no more 30-net_persistent_names.rules. I added it myself according to the following post http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=289008 in which I added the net_persistent_name and put the MAC address of the interface that i changed to eth0 and I checked that it working by typing ifconfig. Matlab is working now. Thanks
