You're on Debian, right? If so, you'd take care of this in the /etc/network/interfaces file.

There's an example of this sort of thing right on the Debian wiki.

Let us know if you need any assistance with that.

perfect setup.. testing done works like a charm. moving it to production box. one more thing to do.. setup bandwidth limiting. so everyone on the lan is limited to 512k/512k any ideas on this one.... Just so You all Know it is for a small wisp i am building. now i can replace the junk appliance i bought.

if anyone is interested i used a few setups for this box.
these are the sites i pulled info from to build this box. i will write it down and post it when complete. maybe it will help someone else.

There's plenty of bandwidth management scripts floating around LQ. If you do some searching, I guarantee you'll find good material to get you started. As for documentation, I recommend the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO.
