This is good...

Typically (as in, "the way I do it"), you'll have a network startup script
that looks something like this:
IF="eth0"
IPADDR="192.168.1.45"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
ifconfig $IF $IPADDR netmask $NETMASK up
route add default gw $GATEWAY dev eth0
For variable-expansion-impaired:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.45 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
Mind you, this just sets up IP addresses. If you want to handle stuff like
www.yahoo.com, you need DNS set up, which is a different beast altogether.
