ifconfig for the ip and netmask see 'man ifconfig'
(sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0)

/etc/resolv.conf for the dns -> man resolv.conf
(sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf)

route for the default gw -> man route
(sudo route add default gw my.default.gateway)

If you want your changes to be permanent edit /etc/network/interfaces,
besides the man-page you can find a lot of info about this topic online,
try http://www.tldp.org and look at their sections of how-to's and
manuals.
