You have a couple of options.
1) You could manually edit the networking files in /etc/sysconfig, or
2) You could run "linuxconf" from a command prompt.
In the event that you want to do 1), you first need to enter some
info in "/etc/sysconfig/network". The info needed in this file is
simple to enter, as the categories are rather self-evident. Then,
you'll need to edit "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0".
Again, the categories are pretty self-evident, with the possible
exception of "BOOTPROTO=", which should be set to "static"
HTH.
