Is this a RedHat box?

If so, create the alias in conf.modules/modules.conf, and then create a
file called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with the following:

DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.100.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.100.0
BROADCAST=192.168.100.255
ONBOOT=yes

..use your own settings, of course.  Or, you can run linuxconf, and do it
all from there.
