??? Did you mean dhcp?
Do you have an internet connection?
What is the complete path of the configuration file you changed?
jdk

When you configure with a static IP address, you'll also need to configure a domain name server manaually. Check /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver entry, and add as necessary.

If your static IP isn't on the same subnet as the IP you've been getting from DHCP then you may also have to change hostmasks and default gateways / routes accordingly.

If you're on a network which provides DHCP why are you trying to configure a static IP? Be aware that you also should select a static IP on the correct subnet, but also beyond the scope of the pool of dynamic addresses which can be assigned by the router.
