Add a route: route add -net ${NETWORK}ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} > route add -net ${NETWORK} Another way of doing this is to use the ifup/ifdown utilities. That is, add something like the following to /etc/network/interfaces: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 If you've got access to the real world, add a line like: gateway 192.168.1.1 and your default route'll be setup too. To up and down the interface, run "ifup eth0" or "ifdown eth0", or just leave it to /etc/init.d/networking, which is run at bootup and shutdown. See ifup(8) and interfaces(5) for more info.
