For this you would need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces in the following format:

# for eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address <the ip address you want>
netmask <the appropriate netmas for your gateway>
gateway <the ip address of your network's gateway>

So, to show you what this would look like, here is what my Ubuntu desktop has it's file as:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.12
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

Be sure, though, that if this machine is behind a router/firewall that the necessary ports are opened and forwarded to the IP address of the server in question.
