If you got debian 3.1_r0 then your version has a little bug.
Add
http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates
to your /etc/apt/sources.list so that you will be able to get security
updates.

I would edit /etc/networking/interfaces. Mine looks like this:
__( '/etc/network/interfaces' )_______________________________________
/
| # 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
|
| auto eth0
| iface eth0 inet static
| address 192.168.0.3
| netmask 255.255.255.0
| broadcast 192.168.0.255
| gateway 192.168.0.23
\______________________________________________________________________
for more see man interfaces.
And, if you need to load some extra modules, add them to /etc/modules.
