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.
Try 'ifconfig eth0 172.16.254.80 netmask 255.255.255.240 up' or, after you already issued those commands, a simple 'ifconfig eth0 up'.
I've always liked ifup eth<x>
