Debian static ip address

[Michael Phillips]

On a Debian system, how do you setup a static ip address?  I am using ddclient
to keep track of my external ip address.  I have my route setup for port
forwarding.  The problem is my debian system is not keeping an ip address.  Any
help would be appreciated.
