    go to ur /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file

    change bootproto to none or static
    give ur ip address there and restart the network scripts.

    the command service dhcpd stop will stop the dhcp server running on ur machine ... but it will still look for ip from ur network dhcp server.

    So to make the ip static u have to do the above steps and also make sure no body has that ip assigned to them from dhcp ....


    hope this helps
