Yes.

I had not tried that. I had tried booting and assumed that would also
restart the network. So I tried your suggestion. That did in fact set eth0
to the desired static IP 10.97.14.253 while producing this error message:
"Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not
enable again some interfaces ... (warning)."
However, on rebooting I was once again assigned the dynamic IP 10.97.14.200.
In case it matters, I'll mention that I'm running Wheezy. The kernel just
moved up to 3.0.0-1-686-pae on Friday, but this IP problem predates that.
Thanks.
