[Linux] Setting Static IP Addresses

[Jason Alazawi]

Hey guys, I am running FC5 and I want to make my 192.168.0.89 address
a static address that way when I open port 22 I can always get into my
server (Yes I do have a static IP Address)  I don't know how to set
that up.  I looked online and found that I need to make the changes in
the /etc/networking dir. but I don't have one.  In FC5 I go
/etc/sysconfig/networking-config then I edit the eth0 file and change
dhcp to static but that's not working, I can't get out to the
Internet.  Please any help would be good!
