hi guys, can anyone give an idea on how to configure Red Hat IP.

Here's what i'm trying to do use linux as a web server and at the same time connect the linux machine to local area network.

So i need to configure one static ip such as 203.blah.blah.blah and then 192.blah.blah.blah
Need your help on how to do this.

Thanks.

What version of Red Hat are you using? And is it Enterprise or that ancient predecessor to Fedora Linux?

read the red hat doc page , then pay red hat $$$ Cash
then install apache
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/en
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/

red hat enterprise 5.3. Thanks.

Not without more information. How do you connect to the Internet? How are you networking components connected (router, modem, firewall, DMZ ...)? How many NICs does the computer have?

Computer: Two NIC's
Internet connection: Though a CISCO router (connected to ADSL)

Thanks.

if you are going to use RHEL5 then PAY red hat , update it to RHEL 5.5 and call your paid for tech support rep.

OR
install the Free version CentOS 5.4

so basically your point is i really need to PAY RHEL with a bulk of money which i don't have.

so is there any free insights out there, thanks.

YES that is my point .
or install CentOS !!!
cent is the community supported version .with the red hat logos and copyrighted things removed .
http://www.centos.org/

if you use red hat PAY RED HAT or use something different.

Kinda like paying Microsoft? Or Apple?

You're paying for support. RHEL is supported and updated, but you only get such things if you pay for them. Unless you've got a real, application driven need for RHEL (like Oracle, etc., that needs a 'supported configuration), you'd be better off loading CentOS (RHEL, but free and community supported/updated), or any other free version of Linux. openSUSE, Mandriva, etc., are all good, and all support the same things you're talking about. Otherwise, you won't get kernel updates, security updates, etc.
Yep...the links you were given should tell you that.

The command you're really looking for is "ifconfig", but you still don't say anything about what KIND of NIC's you have, or what you've got. Does your router supply addresses via DHCP internally? If you've got the interface, and need a static address, you can manually do it with "ifconfig <interface name> <address> <subnet mask>", then add a default route with "route add default gw <gateway address>". The links John provided can be used to search the RH knowledebase, for things like this: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-8557

The scenario you described shouldn't need two NIC's, though. Set up one single NIC on your internal network. Can even use DHCP to get it. On your router, you can do NAT'ing to the outside. Unless you've got two external ports on your DSL connection, you're getting ONE address to your house. So on the router, redirect all incoming requests to port 80, to your box, via the one address you've already got.
