Problem with static ip

I can't use an static ip, but i can use dhcp, and all go well.

I want to use a private_ip: 192.168.1.40

]$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:D0:59:--:--:-- 
          inet addr:192.168.1.251  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2d0:59ff:fe7b:13ba/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:82376 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:66182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:110141582 (105.0 Mb)  TX bytes:4684879 (4.4 Mb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1c00 

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:164 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:164 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:10321 (10.0 Kb)  TX bytes:10321 (10.0 Kb)

And this is my rc.conf when I try to put an static ip:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="arch"
#
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available
# interfaces.
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
#   - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
# Don't use this for wireless interfaces, see network profiles below
#
eth0="192.168.1.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
#
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up.  These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
#   - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
#   - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#
#NET_PROFILES=(main)

I can't understand where is the trouble. Do you see?

Re: Problem with static ip

Can you post the output of ifconfig when configured for a static IP?
