Edit /etc/sysconfig/network. It should look something like this:
[root@www ewilts]# cd /etc/sysconfig
[root@www sysconfig]# cat network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=www.ewilts.org
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
Now edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
[root@www sysconfig]# cd network-scripts/
[root@www network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.4
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
# /sbin/service network restart
You should be in business. Note that I've got a different address for my
gateway since all my hosts are on the 192.168.0 network, not the 192.168.1
that Linksys defaults to. My config predates the Linksys router.
