Not assigning IP?

I'm using ICS for my DSL connection and networked my two PCs via a crossover cable. When I enable the connection on the client PC, it can't get IP information. Is there anyway to fix this? (By the way, the client PC is running RedHat, but it worked fine with ICS last time I tried...)

Simple enough, just statically assign it an IP address (and all the appropriate info to go along with it like Gateway and DNS etc) to the PC in question. It has to be in the same range as the rest of the LAN of course.
I would still look into why it's not getting it's info from DHCP, but the static assignment will give you connectivity while you figure it out.
