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.

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

• 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.
