[Nottingham] Fixed IP

[Danny King]

Thank you! That was the key I needed!

For those interested I needed:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes

And then I needed to setup the gateway So that data from outside 
192.168.0.* could be recieved:

route add default gw 192.168.1.253

thanks again
