problem fixing eth0 IP

["Robert Cates" <cates58@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I've just got my new machine running Etch.  This machine is a server, so no 
GUI or XWindows.  I have the DHCP3-Client and DHCP3-common installed (by 
default) which gets an IP just fine.  But now I want to assign a fixed 
non-DHCP IP to the NIC.

I can use ifconfig to change the IP, but when I reboot the machine, DHCP 
gets the other IP again.  How can I fix this so that the IP I want assigned 
is permanent?

Thanks in advance!
Robert
