Assuming your...

1) network interface is eth0
2) network is C class 192.168.111.0
3) desired IP is 222
4) gateway is 127

add the following to /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.111.222
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.111.0
broadcast 192.168.111.255
gateway 192.168.111.127
