Thank everyone Success! I started at the command line with the ip address but then I needed the subnet mask and the gateway so I took Ian's advise and used the gui. The plus is that I can switch back to DCHP really easily. Regards John
There are simpler ways to do this on Ubuntu. I can't remember the exact menu location but on my Debian (which is similar) it is Places, Administration, Networking and you can do it all using the GUI with a minimum of fuss.
