To switch from using DHCP to hardcoding your IP:
1. Delete /etc/dhcp.interface-name (hme0 for instance)
2. Make sure your hostname is in /etc/hostname.interface-name
3. Make sure the correct entry for your machine is in /etc/hosts.
4. Reboot.
In my case I simply wanted to turn off DHCP altogether for this
client. Sys-unconfig wouldn't work for me since the machine was
geographically elsewhere. Answerbook also hinted that the existence
of /etc/dhcp.interface-name tells the machine to use DHCP. I had
originally had difficulty because instead of removing
/etc/dhcp.interface-name I had renamed it to /etc/dhcp.hme0.sol8 like
I typically do to be able to go backwards. Some regular expression
probably just looks for /etc/dhcp* so it wouldn't work until I blew
it away.
Thanks,
