How to set up a static IP in a CentOS Server 6.5
HI
I have a virtualized linux CentOS distro in virtualbox, by now I can see a dynamic IP associated to eth0 device on linux, so first of all, I tried to set up an static IP using system-config-network tool, but there isn't any device detected on the list, after that I went to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
Regards.

Did you install the guest addition?

Can you clarify the following statement? It is a bit confusing. Do you see any network device in the guest?

This is what I mean with "I tried to set up an static IP using system-config-network tool, but there isn't any device detected on the list":
And this when I said that there isn't any file named ifcfg-eth0:

No I didn't but I think I should, right?

I have done this procedure: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ and now, Virtual Box Guess Additions are now installed but I am still uncapable of see any device using system-config-network tool or even manually, inside the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scr

Did you add a virtual network adapter to the guest and make sure it is connected?
What is the make and model of the hardware network adapter?

Do you mean this?:
And finally, by now the virtual machine is in a Dell Studio 1535 laptop with a WLAN 1397 Half MiniCard (4312bg).

What I did was to start the server in graphical mode (I didn't know this could be possible by using startx) and then stablished static IP for eth0 device.
By now, If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scr

Did you add the virtual adapter after my posting?
- No, It has been added since I installed the virtual OS for the very first time.
Is there a ifcfg-eth0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
- No, there is just a ifcfg-Auto_eth0 file.

Are you using bridged networking? What version of guest addition you installed?
Have you try using a wired connection instead of wireless?

Are you able to ping the guest from the desktop? What is the /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
Configure the IP and paste output of #ifconfig eth0 and also try to ping outer network.
