Problem to set static IP

Hi,
I've followed the steps in this to set one static IP for eth0
http://thedaneshproject.com/posts/ho...c-ip-in-linux/

and here is ifcfg-eth0 file
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
IPADDR=192.168.168.20
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
HWADDR=08:00:27:C8:DF:01
ONBOOT=yes

but I don't know why I get these
[root@localhost network-scripts]# ifdown eth0
[root@localhost network-scripts]# ifup eth0

Determining IP information for eth0... failed.

Change to

Code:

BOOTPROTO=none

.. and if that fails, also check that your MAC address is correct.

replace dhcp with static so that it looks like

Code:

BOOTPROTO=none
