Static IP address on shared networking

Is there a way to have a static ip address using shared networking?

I'm using Parallels 4.0 on OS X. In Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Networking I set the DHCP address range to 10.211.55.1 to 10.211.55.99. I then reconfigured my guest OS to use static networking and set it to 10.211.55.101. I could ping 10.211.55.1 and 10.211.55.2, but nothing else.

Make sure that in Guest OS the netmask is 255.255.255.0 and gateway is 10.211.55.1

If this won't help and you are running Windows, post here the output of the "ipconfig /all" command.
 
I'm using openbsd, but I can probably give you something similar to what you want. Here's the output of netstat and ifconfig. I'm going to try rebooting it (that's just wrong) but in the meantime here's the info:

# netstat -nr -f inet

Gah. I'm sorry. Rebooting fixed it. I must have missed something when changing it from dhcp. Sorry, forget I asked anything! :)

Thanks for the fast response though.
