If using redhat/fedora then add files inside /etc/network-scripts else

add the lines to /etc/rc.local.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

hi,

Here's a sample,

DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=10.245.233.121
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.245.233.0
BROADCAST=10.245.233.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no

check out the netmask, network and broadcast to be sure they match your config.

I found this sample at : http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/file-netfunc.html, in case you need more infos
