Since no one else has responded I'll give it a shot. There are several
files you need to modify. First there is /etc/sysconfig/network

The format of this file is:

NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=your_hostname
GATEWAY=255.255.255.0
GATEWAYDEV=

The next file is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

The format of this file is:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=199.1.1.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY= FILL THIS IN
HOSTNAME=your_hostname
DOMAIN=your.domain

Then you will need to edit /etc/resolv.conf which has the form:

domain your.domain
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
search foo.com bar.edu

And possibly add a few lines to /etc/hosts

I may be forgetting something, but hopefully that will get you on the
right track.
