Bit of suggestion. if you are not a sysadmin . there is no need to go through
all these config files as u may go wrong with the syntaxes . Just follow this
step and you can achieve what u intend to :-
1. ask your sysadmin for ip addr (and FQDN if required)
network/netmask addr
gateway address
DNS addressess
2. use redhat-config-network command (a easy to use and configure frontend)
# redhat-config-network
and enter the appropriate entries from step1
3. try to connect to the internet
-cheers
