hint: If you dont want to read the docs. don't change the default values.
debian-edu is made for schools with an admin with less then 4h a week 
for it administration.  Changing the ip configuration is a large task.
it's usualy easier to change the ip of the router, then to change the 
network ip config.

documentation:
http://wiki.skolelinux.no/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/
Especialy the requirements and gettingstarted are worth reading.

if you insist on changing the ip subnet, read:
