Do you have etherconf installed? dpkg-reconfigure says this even if the
package is not installed at all.

Settings are in /etc/network/interfaces. You can edit by hand (not hard,
mostly only this):
# eth0 is brought up automatically at boot
auto eth0
# the interface eth0 uses a protocol from the inet family
# uses a statically allocated address
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
Also check "man interfaces"
Etherconf edits this file for you.
