Right now there are two ways to set the IP address, either ssh and
modify the files, OR try and connect to a machine without a DHCP server
and it will then ask if you want to setup a static IP.

The easiest way to do this is run a cable from the Touch to a laptop
ethernet port (NOT the switch or router on your LAN), assuming the
laptop is NOT running a DHCP server. Go to settings>advanced>networking
and choose the network type as ethernet, this will try and connect to a
DHCP server over the wire. It won't find one, then give you the option
to use a static IP, say yes and enter the address. Unplug the wire from
the laptop and go back to your normal connection (wired or wireless).

Yeah its a little messy but you don't have to edit the files on the
Touch.
