Your hostname is set in /etc/hostname. DNS is dealt with in /etc/resolv.conf like so: search <your local domain here> nameserver <your DNS server here> The "search" line is optional. To configure the network card itself, you want to look at /etc/network/interfaces Here's the relevant stanza from mine: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.200.1.2 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway 10.200.1.1 broadcast 10.200.255.255 Hope this helps.
