Place the appropriate lines in - /etc/network/interfaces
and run -
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

Using you're settings the file should have the following format -
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.10.7
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.10.0
        broadcast 192.168.10.255
        gateway 192.168.10.1

See - man interfaces for more.  If you get errors post them to the list.
