I am unable to get an internet connection with my static IP setup.
Here's my relevant files:
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.myserver
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.44
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
/etc/resolve.conf
search myserver
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
ifconfig shows 192,168.1.44 (just like it should)
route -n shows:
Destination Gateway genmask flag Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0. UG 0 0 0 eth0
When I ping the gateway I get:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.44 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.44 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.44 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
When I ping google, it just hangs until finally saying unknown host.
What's wrong?

You still need to add:
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS1=8.8.8.8 DNS2=192.168.1.1
to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. It worked for me!
