If you mean "what file contains the IP address and hostname of my own server?": It depends whether you use NetworkManager to configure networking or the older style.

In the older style the config file goes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and contains the NIC name as part of the filename. With NetworkManager the file has a different format and name and goes in /etc/NetworkManager/connection-scripts. 
There are command-line tools to configure NetworkManager-style like nmtui and nmcli if you reject GUIs ;-) You may need to install one of them if not already.

Whose network address? And: what do you mean by "store"?

Could you please explain what you are trying to do?

Cheers
