What keeps blowing up? Whats broken? Cant you ping it?
ifconfig eth0 up <ip address> netmask <mask>
Ping it. It should work. If its its own gateway (which is really, really
odd) you shouldnt need to specify it. Also, when specifying a gateway, I
generaly also provide a metric since its usually good practice.
Like when I want to bring up hades I run this quick little script:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 209.71.96.99 broadcast 209.71.96.103 netmask 255.255.255.248
route add default gw 209.71.96.97 metric 1
echo "search neverlight.com" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 209.71.96.98" >> /etc/resolv.conf
Hope that was somewhat helpful.
