I need to setup static IP address on my
machine(RH 7.2). Where do I go to do/what do I do to do this? (I know everything there is to know about TCP/IP (maybe not everything but thats besides the point) I just dont know how to configure it.
Thanks

Redhat has several methods that you can use.
From the command promt, type:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

Then type: ifconfig eth0 up

Also, you can type:setup
This will bring up a utility which configures alot of stuff including ip addresses.

The Webmin or Linuxconf utilities are other favorites.

PS If you want to add a gateway:
# route add -net default gw 192.168.0.254 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

and to delete it:
# route del default
