Assuming the interface whose address you want to change is eth0, you would edit ifcfg-eth0 in the directory verdepollo wrote.

Add or edit the IPADDR value with the address you want.

If BOOTPROTO is set to "dhcp", you might want to change it to "static".

You'll need to restart the interface (ifdown / ifup or service network restart).

And please spare us all the smilies and .....'s in your posts. This isn't kindergarden.
