Edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
There is a manpage for the file but it should go something like -
# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
# installation# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1
After you have made the changes -
# /etc/init.d/networking start
hth,
