How to bind hostname and IP to network card in Linux?

[JulianChappell]

Hello,

I want to check what hostname and IP address is bound to my Linux server's ethernet card. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Please talk to me like I'm a niddiot, because my Linux and Networking knowledge is a little weak. I'm only doing this because Oracle support told me to.

TIA,

Julian
