I've always known the config file to be /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Sample: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETMASK=255.255.255.xxx DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes NAME="System eth0" HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IP addresses changed to protect the guilty :) Hopes this helps...
