assign server public static IP

[webstuff]

How do you assign a server a public IP

I am running a modem in bridge mode to my server

I edit file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

<looks like this >

# DEVICE=eth0
# BOOTPROTO=static
# HWADDR=12:23:44:43:56:67
# IPADDR=72.234.xx.xx


< 72.234.xx.xx is my public ip >

I figured it out.. turns out you need netmask and some other items..
