Nate,
ifconfig ethX IP_ADDRESS netmask NETMASK route add default gw IP_OF_GATEWAY
OK, so I was correct,
I am doing
ifconfig eth0 172.16.254.80 netmask 255.255.255.240 route add default gw 172.16.254.1
I am getting Network is unreachable.
That's correct. Write down 80, 1 and 240 in binary. With a /28 mask, your IP address and your gateway are in different subnets.
