specifying an ip

[Chris Nestrud]

You'd have to get all of the information and make an interfaces file
specifying everything. I think with DHCP it's all or nothing. It would
be something like:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
#hostname box

Hope this helps.
