There is a tool somewhere in the KDE menu but I usually just go to
/etc/network/interfaces and edit that file.

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.13
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

# Wireless network interface
