I restarted a new 10.4 dev server from the backup partition but it was set to DHCP and now ifconfig tells me that it's on a self assigned IP, as the port it's been moved to has no DHCP. Dumb, I know.

Please - can anyone post the exact terminal commands needed to set en0 to

(example addresses follow)

10.40.21.10
255.255.255.0
10.40.21.1

I've searched a lot so if you can help, you'd be helping more idiots like me . . .
