That was a bit quick, I hadn't actually rebooted.
When I rebooted, I came back to la-la land where nothing worked.
Then scanned a few manpages and came to know there is something called ifconfig
which does the same/similar thing as /etc/network/interfaces so tried that one
out.
sudo ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
61.1.96.69
This is what ifconfig eth0 gives :-
ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr some address
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:61.1.96.69 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:557 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:313297 (313.2 KB) TX bytes:154915 (154.9 KB)
Interrupt:22 Base address:some base address
But still wouldn't work, apparently the gateway information I didn't
know where or how to give
Came to know also there is something called route so used that.
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (most probably from security point of
view may be a bad idea, but till I don't know any better have to use the
same)
route
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
comments and suggestions to clean up are welcome.
