setup ip addres

["Timothy C. Phan" <tphan@iqrinc.com>]

hi,

  I'd like to know if there is a easier way to setup
  the network related information on a debian box without
  actually editing the /etc/init.d/network file (and/or
  others.

  I'd like to setup the IP address, gateway, subnet mask,
  hostname, DNS servers, etc.

  TIA!
