7 After the network card restart process is complete, make sure the Status is Active in the 

Network Configuration screen.

Follow the steps below to edit the network configuration files and set your computer IP 
address. 

1 Assuming that you have only one network card on the computer, locate the 

ifconfig-

eth0

 configuration file (where 

eth0

 is the name of the Ethernet card). Open the 

configuration file with any plain text editor.

• If you have a dynamic IP address, enter 

 in the 

BOOTPROTO=

 field. The following 

figure shows an example.

• If you have a static IP address, enter 

 in the 

BOOTPROTO=

 field. Type 

IPADDR

= followed by the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) and type 

NETMASK

= 

followed by the subnet mask. The following example shows an example where the 
static IP address is 192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

2 If you know your DNS server IP address(es), enter the DNS server information in the 

resolv.conf

 file in the 

/etc

 directory. The following figure shows an example where 

two DNS server IP addresses are specified.

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

USERCTL=no

PEERDNS=yes

TYPE=Ethernet

DEVICE=eth0

NETMASK=255.255.255.0
