I'll assume that the two adapters are eth0 and eth1. Replace words prefixed with $
With static IP:

Code:

ifconfig eth$n $ip # set ip adress

ifconfig eth$n netmask $nmask # probably 255.255.255.0

route add default $gateway # set up gateway through your gateway (probably a router or modem)

ifconfig eth$n up # activate

With DHCP:

Code:

dhclient # it should check both interfaces and activate them automatically
