You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO="none" IPADDR="x.x.x.x" (IP address) NETMASK="y.y.y.y" (Subnet mask) NETWORK="x.x.x.0" (Ntework address) BROADCAST=x.x.x.x (broadcast address)
Edit the /etc/resolv.conf to add the DNS servers: nameserver a.b.c.d Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file to change the default gateway GATEWAY="a.b.c.d" Save the file. Run the following to shutdown and restart the eth0. #/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown eth0 #/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0 Run ifconfig to verify the new settings Hope this helps.

When I originally set it up, I had it grab its IP address from a DHCP server. I would like to change this to a static address. Can somebody point me in the right direction as far as what files need to be configured?
