Hi
I'm pretty new to Linux. I need to know how to set up my NIC with a static IP instead of DHCP using terminal commands since I'll do it remotely through ssh. 
Thanks

First, you need to know which interfaces you need to configure.

(root)
# ifconfig

This will display your current network config, find something like eth0

Then, edit /etc/network/interfaces

this is the configuration for my lan interface :

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255

Here you go, you just have to restart your network :

# /etc/init.d/networking restart

After I set up the network file and restart the network, will the dhcp client application continue running? if so, how do I stop ip from running at startup? 
By the way, thanks a lot for your help guys
