How to configure DHCP to Static IP

I am pretty new to this. My router was earlier configured to enable DHCP, thus my UNIX box is using the dhcp address, i.e. I have to do a ifconfig dhcp hme0 start. Since I am planning to use my NT as a web server, I needed to use the static IP address. How do I configure the unix box to use the...

Node switched itself from static to DHCP on reboot issue

setfdprm

SETFDPRM(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       SETFDPRM(8)

NAME

       setfdprm - sets user-provided floppy disk parameters

SYNOPSIS

       setfdprm [ -p ] device name
       setfdprm [ -p ] device size sectors heads tracks stretch gap rate spec1 fmt_gap
       setfdprm [ -c ] device
       setfdprm [ -y ] device
       setfdprm [ -n ] device

DESCRIPTION

       setfdprm  is  a utility that can be used to load disk parameters into the auto-detecting floppy devices, to clear old parameter sets and to
       disable or enable diagnostic messages.

       Without any options, setfdprm loads the device (usually /dev/fd0 or /dev/fd1) with a new  parameter  set  with  the  name  entry  found	in
       /etc/fdprm (usually named 360/360, etc.).  These parameters stay in effect until the media is changed.

       -p device name
	      Permanently  loads  a  new  parameter  set  for  the  specified  auto-configuring  floppy  device for the configuration with name in
	      /etc/fdprm.  Alternatively, the parameters can be given directly from the command line.

       -c device
	      Clears the parameter set of the specified auto-configuring floppy device.

       -y device
	      Enables format detection messages for the specified auto-configuring floppy device.

       -n device
	      Disables format detection messages for the specified auto-configuring floppy device.

BUGS

       This documentation is grossly incomplete.
