man ifconfig
man route
man resolv.conf
If I remember correctly, you'll want to do the ifconfig first,
specifying the ip address and netmask, then use route to specify the
gateway. I think the commands should look something like this:
ifconfig eth0 <IP address> netmask <netmask> up
route add default gw <gateway>
And the nameserver addresses go in /etc/resolv.conf
Cheers!
