Mine goes a little like this:
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
This is of course for a DHCP client, where 192.168.1.1
is my smoothwall router/firewall.
The interfaces man page has more info.
