After installing CentOS you will wan\u2019t to most likely configure a static ip address.\u00a0CentOS<\/a> is mostly used as Server for some purpose be it hosting your website or running a gaming server.\u00a0 So whatever the case you will want to give it a static IP address.\u00a0 By default CentOS interface is configured to receive IP from DHCP server if this is turned on. Here I will show you how to configure static IP address in CentOS system.<\/p>\n

1. You will need to edit the file for your Ethernet connection under \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts<\/strong>.\u00a0 We will edit this file and add the correct settings. \u00a0 You will need to use an editor like vi<\/strong>, vim<\/strong>, nano, pico<\/strong> etc.\u00a0 In this example I will use nano<\/strong> editor. After you start your server running CentOS<\/strong> enter root user credentials and get in. Type the command, # nano \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth0<\/strong> it will look something like this
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. The settings may look like this<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Save the file in whichever editor your using.<\/p>\n

5. Now restart the network services by issuing the command,
\n[root@hostname~]# service network restart<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

6. To verify the IP address issue the following command,
\n[root@hostname~]# ifconfig<\/b><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Next you will want to configure your DNS settings we’ll need to edit the DNS file so we type the command\u00a0 thing is to edit \/etc\/recolv.conf<\/strong>.\u00a0 Using nano editor to configure DNS information, \/etc\/recolv.conf<\/strong>.\u00a0 Using nano editor to configure DNS information,
\n[root@hostname~]<\/i># nano \/etc\/resolv.conf<\/strong><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 After you save this file, you’ll want to test your connection with a simple command like ping www.bbc.co.uk which should come back with something like this below.<\/p>\n

\"ping<\/a>
