When has the /etc/hosts file ever given anything an IP address?

You are correct, and I am completely wrong. A static address for the computer would be set by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 (or whatever) or using the network config gui to do the same thing.

But everything else needs to be given an address by the router acting as a dhcp server or by a separate dhcp server (which can deliver a static address by using the MAC address of the unit to give the desired address).

Been so long since I have had to do that, I forgot which was the cart and which the mule.
