First find out your interface using ifconfig

Edit the config file for that interface using your favorite text editor:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 //where eth1 is your interface

You will need to change BOOTPROTO from dhcp to static and add IPADDR, NETMASK, BROADCAST and NETWORK variables.

NM_CONTROLLED="yes" BOOTPROTO=static DEVICE=eth1 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.8.248 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.8.255 NETWORK=192.168.8.0 GATEWAY=192.168.8.1 TYPE=Ethernet PEERDNS=no

Save the file :w !sudo tee % > /dev/null

Also add your DNS servers 

vi /etc/resolv.conf nameserver your_Router_ip nameserver 8.8.8.8 # Google's DNS Server

You are ready to browse!
