    The location of the config file varies slightly between distros. What distro are you using?

    I would use ifconfig
    as root

    ifconfig eth0 <your ip> netmask <subnet mask> broadcast <the ip here>
    edit /etc/resolv.conf and add nameservers like this

    nameserver <the ip>



    ps: Without <>
