On RedHat/Fedora they go under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX
 with one file for each interface. I find that a little easier then the
Ubuntu way of /etc/networks/interfaces  but it is probably just a case
of "what Im used to" not really one way better then the others.  Check
your /etc/networks/interfaces file and put your address in there.
