I've installed etch recently and I'm having a real hard time configuring
my ethernet connection.

Firstly, each time the computer is rebooted it seems to create a new
interface (for example, my only ethernet connection at this moment is eth7).
Also, the Gnome's Network Settings program
(Desktop\Administration\Networking, in the top panel) is not solving the
problem. If I try to place the correct IP adresses and after that use
'ifconfig -a' it tells me that the connection is still configured
incorrectly (even though, when I go back to Network Settings, they are
correct). The only way to correctly configure it is using 'ifconfig' and
'route' (and this must be done every single time the computer is turned
on or rebooted). Despite it all, the Network Settings works fine for the
DNS server

I think there must be something wrong in a configuration file, but I
don't have the slightest idea.

The solution lays in editing this file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

You'll need your NIC's MAC address first, though.
