make my debian get a static IP

Hi,

I have just installed my new debian machine.

I am not sure if the machine now has static IP or DHCP

but when I tried ifconfig I can see the IP is 192.1638.1.213

I want to change the IP to be static with the following:

IP : 192.168.1.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254

can you please help..

Edit /etc/networking/interfaces
make it look like

Code:

auto eth0

      iface eth0 inet static

      address 192.168.1.1

      netmask 255.255.255.0

      network 192.168.1.0

      broadcast 192.168.1.255

      gateway 192.168.1.254

Kind regards
