Hey dude,

the easiest way is to run system-config-network or redhat-config-network make the changes then save and and run service network restart ... there are few files to list that you need to make changes to in order for the network properties to stick after reboot.

You can open and edit this file /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Add these 2 lines below to the botom of the file then save it (you can replace 255.255.255.0 abd broadcast IP to suite your subnet)

go to terminal type in
>/etc/rc.d/rc.local
...or at your next reboot it will be ok
that is it
--------

ifconfig eth0 10.0.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.1.255
ifconfig eth0 up
