Thanks!
I wouldn't exactly call this an "ultimate" guide because it doesn't cover a bunch of things.
For example, what's this "long string"?HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00
TYPE=Ethernet UUID=(long string)
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.*.* (Change the first part and the last part, First part is usually 1, You can set last part to whatever as long as it's not taken or above 254*)
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.*.* (Your router's IP address)
What's this "first part" and "last part"?
Shouldn't IPADDR and GATEWAY be the same?
If the IP shown on "inetaddr" after entering ifconfig in the terminal of centos is not whatever was set on IPADDR in the ifcfg file, then what to do to fix that?
An "ultimate" guide covers literally everything in detail but this one doesn't clarify a bunch of things and, like almost every other guide on this forum, has no troubleshooting for things that are not perfectly clear.
"long string" displayed as "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", you can see when work with it. (example 6aa1c02b-0fce-45f7-9329-c585fb12cd03)
"first part" is usually 1, example: 192.168.1.x (x is a "last part" = 1-254)
example your ip is: 192.168.1.x so your GATEWAY = 192.168.1.2 or do the same for other IP
Your IP and DNS1 can do the same.
DNS2 = 8.8.8.8

And i need help with this s***

Okay, networking stuff is tricky but I'll do my best to help.
First, if you wanna be 100% sure of your IP, open command prompt and type in "ipconfig". You can open command prompt by hitting the Windows key and just typing in "cmd" without quotes. This is assuming your primary computer is Windows of course. Anyways, you'll find a field called "IPv4 Address" - this is your computers IP.
In networking, computers need to be in the same "neighborhood" to be considered on a LAN. My explanation stops here because things quickly get very complicated if we want to discuss the finer points. But suffice it to say - in ALMOST every home network your neighborhood is the first three sections of the IP Address. So if your IP is 192.168.1.20, your home LAN is 192.168.1.x.
You need to give your VM an address on this network but you want to make sure you don't hit any other devices. The easiest way to achieve this is to pick a random address, something like 192.168.1.157 for example, and then ping it. To ping the address, open command prompt (or use the previous session) and type "ping 192.168.1.157" without quotes. It should fail to ping. If it fails, the address should be good to use.
I am going to stop here and hopefully this is not already overwhelming. If you do want more info, feel free to PM me.
OH! To answer last question, typically GATEWAY and IPADDR should not be the same. Because this is a virtual connection and a LAN only thing GATEWAY probably doesn't matter. Typically GATEWAY is the address of your router. If this information is incorrect for this particular situation I apologize, I have not installed everything yet.
