cat /etc/hosts


# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.1.100 myhost.mydomain.com myhost

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

HWADDR=00:D0:B7:08:09:BB

ONBOOT=yes







Change above file to below one

OUTPUT for static IP (example)

#

# File: ifcfg-eth0

#

DEVICE=eth0

IPADDR=192.168.1.100

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

BOOTPROTO=static

ONBOOT=yes

#

# The following settings are optional

#

BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

NETWORK=192.168.1.0

TYPE=Ethernet









Also confirm below files have correct entry

cat /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=myhost

GATEWAY=192.168.1.1









Now restart network

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart





Check all with below command

ethtool eth0
