Somethink like this maybe. You better use Vim to edit each file than doing the "echo text > file" think...

Of course, you have to be root.

* Define your network settings:
echo "iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.243
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.15" >> /etc/network/interfaces
/etc/init.d/networking restart
* Then check
ifconfig eth0
ping -c1 192.168.1.243

* Define the DNS server address:
echo "nameserver 202.78.97.35" > /etc/resolv.conf
* Then check:
dig www.debian.org

* Define your hostname:
echo treasury03 > /etc/hostname
hostname -F /etc/hostname
* Then check:
hostname

* Define your local hostname IP resolution:
echo "192.168.1.243 treasury03" >> /etc/hosts
* Then check:
ping -c1 treasury03

Good luck!
