I just installed Red Hat Linux 7.1 and I am having trouble setting up the network. I think that I have configured the IP and domains right for eth0.

Is this the correct set of commands...


The following commands were used:-
ifdown eth0
ifconfig eth0 ip#
route add -host ip# dev eth0

Checked using the following commands (kernal ip routing table): -

netstat -r

displays the default (with loopback already setup) and with the added entry but does not seem to save correctly because (upon say a reboot of the system) it displays only the default routing information. I tried these steps on my home machine with no problems.
