Settings -> System Administration -> Networking Network settings
Click on the interface and properties and use static instead of dhcp and put the adress there.

or, on the command line, do
sudo ifconfig ethV W.X.Y.Z up
(replace V, W, X, Y, Z by the relevant values)

I'm a newbie as well but I think it means in your case:

eth1 10 5 5 5

he means

v=eth device #
w,x,y,z=ip

Pretty clear really

example:

Code:

ifconfig eth0 200.200.0.200 up

for the netmask

Code:

ifconfig eth0 200.200.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
