In /etc/network/interfaces:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
network 127.0.0.0
broadcast 127.0.0.255
gateway 127.0.0.1
...if you have the ifupdown package installed, that should have been
configured for you.
...then /etc/init.d/networking will bring this up for you automatically.
Peace.
