I always just run something like this for a static setup:

ifconfig $IFACE $IPNUM brodcast $BCAST netmask $MASK

/sbin/route add -net default gw $GTWAY netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

and them edit /etc/resolv.conf:

domain $DOMAIN 
search $DOMAIN
nameserver $IPNUM
nameserver $IPNUM

replace the variables with your own values and, of course do it as root.
