You configure the network via the /etc/network/interfaces file (read
'man interfaces'). For example you might do something like this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.1
up ifconfig eth0 mtu 1480
You can leave out the last 'up...' line since it probably does not
apply to you, but I thought I'd leave it in as an example. The 'auto
eth0' line will bring up eth0 during boot. You can use 'ifup eth0' and
'ifdown eth0' from the command line directly if you like.
The DNS server name goes into /etc/resolv.conf for static
configurations, you just put a line similar to this
nameserver 192.168.2.1
for each DNS server IP you have.
