If you've set it up using dhcp you probably don't have a line with your
IP, thus just changing 'dhcp' to 'static' will probably not be
sufficient. In my /etc/networks/interfaces I have:
------
iface eth0 inet static
address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
netmask 255.255.255.0
network AAA.BBB.CCC.0
broadcast AAA.BBB.CCC.255
gateway AAA.BBB.CCC.1
------
I think you need at least the address netmask. Try "man interfaces",
should give you more info.
