eth0 config

[Nick]

Hi tried that when I deactivate and reactivate eth0 to get the new settings
the system changes the ifcfg-eth0 file back to what "IT" thinks is what it
should be also a restart does this.  Screws it all up and I get no
connectivity

Driving me crazy

Cheers

You need to manually edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and put in

IPADDR=xxx
NETMASK=xxx

If you had installed using the "askmethod" method you could have set the 
static address at install time.
