• If you have a static IP address, enter static 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.

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.

After you edit and save the configuration files, you must restart the network card.
