Outside Interface (for Statically assigned users)

This is the seccond-most easiest connection to set up! All you need to do is edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=66.69.99.96
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=66.69.99.90

The values in red above are supplied by your ISP and needed to be added. In addition your ISP's DNS servers need to be entered into /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 11.22.33.44
nameserver 55.66.77.88
search myisp.com

The last search myisp.com is not required by most ISPs. After you make these changes you need to restart the network by issuing /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart and a last ifconfig to verify your settings. If all your settings are correct, go on to 8: Installing PMFirewall
