Edit /etc/network/interfaces. Typical parameters are address, netmask, network, broadcast, gateway, dns-nameservers. For wireless networks, there is also wireless-essid and wireless-key.

This is a series of entries on Linux related tasks. They aren't documented thoroughly enough to go into a wiki, but might be useful to others. By default, they are aimed at the latest debian stable distro. Some are memory joggers rather than being particularly insightful! Comments pointing out errors and omissions are welcome.
