To answer your first question, your lilo.conf is located in
/etc/lilo.conf. Make sure you re-run /sbin/lilo after
making any changes, otherwise you may have trouble booting
the machine.
Second, if you're in X windows try "netcfg" (as root) This
is a nice graphical setup tool.
Third, to test it, if you're on a local network, try
pinging that address from another machine. Remember that
just like every other operating system, to "talk" to
another machine, it has to be on the same network number
segment. ie if you have two machines, and you want them to
talk to each other, and one machine is (for example)
192.168.0.25, the other machine needs to be a 192.168.0.xx
address as well.
