I suppose I will have to create a file /etc/network/interfaces that

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
        192.168.0.1
        255.255.255.0
iface ppp0 inet ppp
        provider dsl-provider
Here is what I would do if I had two computer connected by crossover and 
a ppp connection to the internet:
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo eth0

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
This has worked for me in the past.
Good Luck
