You'd have to get all of the information and make an interfaces file specifying everything. I think with DHCP it's all or nothing. It would be something like: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 #hostname box Hope this helps.
