Be carefully with kernel 2.6.15 as guest. This have only backports. Some
functions are not full implemented, as they are in kernel 2.6.22

With this commands you "Reconfigure Network Interface On the Fly":
# ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255
# route add default gw 10.0.2.2
# echo "nameserver 10.0.2.3" > /etc/resolv.conf

To set the config permanently follow the "Example: Typical Slirp
Configuration" in http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Network#Debian and write
into file /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 10.0.2.15
  network 10.0.2.0
  broadcast 10.0.2.255
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.0.2.2
