I asked the same question a couple of day ago, and someone gave me his /etc/network/interfaces file. with that, I easily did the job. so , if man interfaces and info interfaces are cryptic to you, then you might want to take a look at my /etc/network/interfaces # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # My static IP address auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.20.30.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.20.30.1 notice that gateway is optional. you may also specify other parameters like Bcast.
