Check the file /etc/init.d/network. It is run at boot and configures
the networking parameters. On my box (with a NE200 NIC) it looks
like:
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=193.10.242.45
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=193.10.242.0
BROADCAST=193.10.242.255
GATEWAY=193.10.242.1
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
So, open the file and change the IP adress there and reboot (or run
the script) and the IP adress should now be set up correctly.
