I ordinarily use DHCP, but this doesn't work very well when you're stand-alone on the road or what have you. The way that I solved this was to hack an alternate version of Red Hat's /etc/init.d/network script, which looks for the config files in slightly different places. Then I made the relevant copies of the config files (such as /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* etc) and copied them to a different location, making appropriate modifications for a static IP configuration. I use the new version of of the network script (which I called something like /etc/init.d/network.static) by booting into run level 4, in which I have /etc/init.d/network disabled, and the new version of the script enabled. You can probably do something similar for your set-up. I haven't really had to deal with docking stations, other than in situations where they were not connected to a LAN when they weren't in the docking station, so I can't really give you much more than that.
