Here's what to do, asuming you already have your ethernet card configured an
running.
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=false
HOSTNAME=your.host.name
DOMAINNAME=the.domain.name.of.your.provider
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.2 your.host.name your
/etc/resolv.conf
search the.domain.name.of.your.provider
nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.y
Using the ip addresses provided to you. I'm using dhcp now, and it works
with just nameserver 192.168.0.1, but I didn't have any luck when using a
specific ip address instead of dhcp.
/etc/sysconfig/
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
This one isn't quite right, because I now use dhcp. You need to remove the
BOOTPROTO line and add an IPADDR=192.168.0.2 but I don't remember the format.
