append the following at the end of /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
then run /etc/init.d/networking restart.
ifconfig should show your network.
your network configuration is in /etc/network/interfaces
