I think that is the redhat format.
In Debian (and I presume Ubuntu) you need to look at the file
/etc/network/interfaces which should have something like this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.X.Y
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.255.255
gateway 192.168.X.Z
for a static ip address and this for a dhcp:
auto eth0
iface etho inet dhcp
The "auto" keyword means that the interface will be automatically
configured when the networking subsystem is started.
